Sedgwick County Soil Stories


“The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source and destination of all.”
​-Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America, 1977

​
Sedgwick County Soil Stories is a project celebrating soil in this county. Soil experiences connect residents of Sedgwick County – we all have experiences with soil whether we live in a rural or urban setting, whether we are young or old, whether we farm or garden or play softball or soccer or make mud pies. The purpose of the project is to bring together people from all over Sedgwick County to share their stories of soil.
​The Soil Stories event is scheduled for the week of Earth Day (April), 2021. In light of the pandemic, the exhibit will be virtual and will include webinars, online demos, and online panel discussions.

Who is invited to contribute?

Everyone! We have collected soil from urban, rural and suburban settings. We have participation from all ages.
