Worm Bin Composting Workshop (R$)
02/11/2012
11:30am
Did you know over 27% of the garbage we throw out is compostable? Composting during the winter can be difficult, but if you have the help of hundreds of squirmy worms, it can be done. Vermicomposting (using worms to eat your food scraps) helps reduce the amount of garbage going to the landfill while creating an amazing soil enhancer and fertilizer for house plants, gardens and lawns! You will leave our worm workshop with your own compost collector bucket, worm bin, worms and the knowledge you need to keep your compost bin healthy and productive. For more information, please contact Ryan at .
Presented with support from the Roy A. Hunt Foundation.
$25 per bin for members / $28 per bin for visitors.
To register call 828-1234 x231 or stop by the front desk.
