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 was 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 was to bring together people from all over Sedgwick County to share their stories of soil.
​The Soil Stories event was celebrated the week of Earth Day (April), 2021. Due to the pandemic, the exhibit was primarily virtual and included webinars, online demos, and online panel discussions.

Who was invited to contribute?

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