Free Compost Workshops
Learn the why, what and how of home composting. Compostables make up 34% of the materials that go into landfills. Composting is easy and rewarding, and it isn’t just for gardeners! Composting is a step everyone can take to reduce their carbon foot print. Attend a free workshop and start diverting kitchen scraps and yard waste while producing a nutrient rich soil amendment. Composting is nature’s way to recycle.
