Learn how to turn everyday food scraps and yard waste into rich, living soil in this beginner-friendly composting class hosted by Duck River Garden Company.
We'll break down simple, low-stress ways to start composting at home and make sustainability feel practical, approachable, and easy to incorporate into everyday life.
Join us in the dirt for a hands-on workshop where we'll cover:
• What compost is and why it matters
• What you can (and can't) add to your compost
• How to build and maintain a healthy compost system
• How to troubleshoot common issues like odors, pests, and slow decomposition
Whether you're working with a backyard pile, a small bin, or just beginning to explore sustainable gardening practices, this class is designed to take the guesswork out of composting and help you feel confident turning everyday waste into a valuable resource.
Leave with your first compost system started and the confidence to keep it going at home.
