Composting: What is it and Why do we do it?

Learn from a local Certified Master Composter about the importance of managing your organic waste (food scraps and yard trimmings) at home. As the drought worsens and the climate warms, home-based waste management has never been more relevant. With wide reaching applications, backyard composting cuts your contribution to landfills, conserves water and builds healthy all-natural soils that store carbon.

Please join us for an exciting journey into the world of rot, exploring why something that so many are repulsed by might in fact be the way we save the planet. View a working worm bin!
