Statewide Gardening Information and Soil Testing Schedule

From March through October, our URI Master Gardener volunteers offer free soil pH testing to Rhode Island residents, helping you understand your soil's health and providing recommendations for improvement. Bring a soil sample to the event and our experts will determine its pH levels and texture, offering guidance on achieving optimal soil conditions for your gardening needs.

Additionally, explore our Gardening Information and Soil Testing (GIST) booth, where you can ask gardening questions and access a wealth of resources to support your horticultural goals.
