The display used soil samples, soil reports and information
on plants that grow in different area of Grants Pass and Josephine
County. The display was created and set up by members of
this year's Master Gardeners Class of 2006.
The object was to showcase specific geographical areas in
Josephine County, each with representative soil samples and Master
Gardener Soil Testing Reports to show soil composition and mineral
content. The display encouraged gardeners to use soil
testing to provide information on which plants and crops would grow
best in each area. Also included in this display were U.S. geological
survey maps and photos of each area tested.
