Free Soil Testing Offered to 100 Gardeners
from San Francisco Zip Codes:
94124, 94134, 94110, 94114 or 94107
If you grow some of your own food in one of these zip codes, please consider participating in a research project on heavy metals in urban gardens. After completing a one page survey, you may be one of 100 gardeners randomly chosen to have their soil tested for heavy metals FREE OF CHARGE!
Email [email protected] for information on how to be considered for soil testing, to receive an educational pamphlet on heavy metals and gardening, or to be invited to a community meeting on garden soil and heavy metals later in the summer.
This research is being conducted by Jennifer Gorospe, a graduate student at San Jose State and a gardener living in Silver Terrace. Support for the study is provided by the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Small Grants Program. Local partners include Arc Ecology and City Slicker Farms. Your participation is voluntary and greatly appreciated!
