A New Layer of Landcare: Announcing the Cape Ann Gardens Living Soil Lab

At Cape Ann Gardens, we’ve always believed that landcare starts with the soil—but changing conditions and deeper questions from our clients made it clear we needed a new tool. The Living Soil Lab is our response: a membership-based soil monitoring program that combines chemical and biological analysis with tailored recommendations and custom inoculants. It’s designed for gardeners and growers who want to understand their soil more deeply and grow in partnership with their land. In this post, we share why we created the program, who it’s for, and why now is the time to make this work more accessible.
