Belfast Garden Club Program

Ron Desrosiers: Your Soil is Alive!
Ron Desrosiers will discuss soil properties with an emphasis on soil life and methods that we can
use to build and maintain healthy soils in our gardens and landscapes. Ron’s presentation will
discuss how healthy soils not only benefit our gardens but are also beneficial to human life and
our well-being on planet earth. Ron’s enthusiasm and deep respect for the role soils play in
ecological systems are why he enjoys sharing his knowledge with others, finding that the more
people understand about soil, the more the topic comes alive for them.
Ron Desrosiers is a Maine Licensed Soil Scientist with a lifetime of exploration of plant / soil
relationships. He has over 35 years of experience working with landowners and communities to
help them to meet their soil management objectives.
