The Institute of Sustainable Nutrition

In this innovative online Garden Program Nigel Palmer, author of “The Regenerative Grower’s Guide To Garden Amendments” and instructor at TIOSN, will cover many of the concepts and recipes outlined in his book. Learn about the local, low-cost materials available in your community and how to turn these into biological and nutrient-rich amendments. Program classes will form a cumulative understanding. A soil-plant model will be introduced and built on in each successive class to correlate defined terms and practices used to sustainably regenerate the soil year after year. 

The program will consist of five, two-hour classes, Saturday mornings from 10:00 – 12:00 PM Eastern time.

Each class will include an interactive presentation, a demonstration activity, usually the making of a biological or mineral amendment, and time for questions and answers. Classes are designed to accommodate the introductory needs of the novice as well as detailed information for the experienced grower. The large amount of data and reference material provided in the book make it a recommended reference to accompany and expand the learning presented in this program.
