Composting is a Hot Topic

Composting is the natural process of decomposing organic matter, such as garden waste, leaves and food scraps, into a valuable soil amendment. Composting is the key to growing healthy plants.

Join our local experts on composting. We will teach you about outdoor composting, what will work best for your space, the types of waste you can use and how compost reduces your need for pesticides and fertilizers.
