Queer Garden Network: Worm Composting Workshop & Potluck

Turn your food scraps into garden gold with the Queer Garden Network at the Miscalaireomm. Tour a working worm bin setup, build a new bin together, and take home red wigglers if you want to start your own. Then stay for a potluck.

Agenda

• 6:00 to 7:00 pm | Vermiculture workshop: bin tour + build a bin together
• 7:00 to 8:30 pm | Potluck & hangout

Worm Composting Workshop

Get up close with Spencer's working vermiculture setup and see how worms turn food scraps into rich compost. Then we set up a brand new bin together, hands-on, from bedding to first feeding. Learn to brew worm tea, one of the most beneficial compost teas for houseplants and outdoor gardens, and walk away with a one-page guide so you can start composting responsibly at home.

Worms For Sale

Want to start your own bin? Red wigglers are available in about quarter-pound portions, container included. Cash, Venmo, or Cash App.

Potluck

At 7 we shift into potluck mode. Share food, relax, and connect with other queer gardeners. Come for the potluck only if you like.
