PROFILES IN SOIL HEALTH
Donna Adrian, White River, SD
“So many people have this stigma in their brain and think, ‘I can’t garden because I have to have a bigger yard, or a tiller, or access to water.’ I want to show people that they can garden with less land, less work and less water.”
Donna Adrian, or the Garden Lady as many have come to know her, shares the low maintenance, soil-building gardening methods that she utilizes both within her own garden and while teaching others throughout her community. No-till, mulching, water conservation techniques like soaker hoses, as well as pollinator friendly pest control and plantings are all a part of her system. Watch her video to hear step by step instructions on how to establish a new no-till garden plot!
