Microplastics in Garden Soil

What are microplastics, and how might they impact my garden? Microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment, yet very little is known about their impact on garden soils or garden ecology. This talk will provide an overview of what we know about plastics in soils: where they come from, and how they might affect soils, plants, and other life within the soil.

Anna Perry, M.S. student in the Oregon State University Garden Ecology Lab, will be presenting this talk.

This talk is part of the Clackamas County Master Gardener Lecture series, held on the 2nd Monday of each month. Talks are free and open to the public.
