Description: Compost happens, but there are techniques for making the process quicker and more successful. A short presentation will focus on the purposes for and the science behind composting. Attendees will then venture out into the Demonstration Gardens to tour the composting area and get hands-on with materials, tools as well as several types of composting structures and solutions. Active demonstrations will highlight best practices, and we’ll answer your composting questions.
