Living Soil Cultivation Living soil cultivation is a fascinating and rewarding

approach to gardening that harnesses the power of nature to create a thriving ecosystem for your plants. It's all about fostering a vibrant community of microorganisms in your soil, who work in partnership with your plants to provide everything they need to flourish.

Imagine a bustling underground city beneath your garden bed. Bacteria break down organic matter, releasing nutrients that fungi shuttle directly to plant roots.

Earthworms aerate the soil, creating pockets for air and water to reach deeper layers. Nematodes munch on harmful pests, protecting your precious plants. This intricate web of life is the essence of living soil.

Marijuana is for use by qualified patients only. Keep out of reach of children. Marijuana use during pregnancy or breastfeeding poses potential harms. Marijuana is not approved by the FDA to treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Do not operate a vehicle or machinery under the influence of marijuana.

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKERS CHEF TRAVIS PETERSEN, Nomad Cook Chef Travis Petersen is a native of the Pacific Northwest. Growing up in Vancouver, Canada, cannabis culture was long accepted before legalization in 2018, influencing the young chef to develop an understanding and love for the plant. Petersen spent over a decade working in the oil and gas industry as a business development manager for one of the world’s largest valve companies before briefly appearing on a reality TV show in 2016: “MasterChef Canada.” Following the competition, Chef Petersen launched his new business venture – The Nomad Cook. He spent over two years traveling around western Canada and regularly hosting pop-up dinners. Over the 4/20 weekend in 2018, the Infused Dining Series was born. Petersen turned an Airbnb rental into a pop-up restaurant for the dining series, hosting 164 guests in groups of 12 over four days. From there, The Nomad Cook hit the road, traveling all over Canada, introducing the newest frontier in the culinary world to Canadians from all walks of life. To date, Petersen has served over 10,000 guests their first infused dining experience and, in 2020, launched the first recognized Culinary Cannabis Certificate for Safety and Responsibility in Canada. The Nomad Cook’s goal has been to break the stigmas around culinary cannabis and to influence the next generation of chefs to explore this ingredient and help move it from the underground into the mainstream. Having worked with every major licensed producer, retailer and cannabis brand in Canada, Petersen moved into the U.S. market in 2021 to make culinary cannabis a recognized Canadian Cuisine.
