Garden Series: Backyard Composting

Learn how to turn kitchen scraps and yard waste into healthy, nutrient-rich compost for your garden. We will discuss composting processes and techniques, bin construction and purchase options, and together build a simple wire frame compost pile for demonstration. Whether you’re a seasoned backyard gardener or curious beginner, you’ll leave with the skills to reduce waste and grow greener. This program is free, but registration is limited. Workshop location in Woodward and directions will be provided to registered participants via email.
