In celebration of Marin Village’s 10-year anniversary, Stephen Andrews will give a talk entitled: “Soils and Health: Getting Dirty is Good at Any Age” In his talk, Stephen will address the importance of soil microbes to human health and wellness.

Stephen is a soil scientist, educator, and natural resources consultant.

Known variously throughout the Bay Area as the Dirt Dude, Soil Sommelier, and Compost Crusader, Stephen has been indoctrinating classes of UCCE Master Gardeners, landscape and gardening professionals, and UC Berkeley students with his mantras of “compost, compost, compost” and “mulch, mulch, mulch” for more than two decades.

After attending a talk given by Stephen, you’ll have a new appreciation for the ground beneath your feet.
