We hope you an join us as we learn how to enrich the soil around us to ensure healthy and happy plants.

A large component of soil enrichment is the addition of compost!

Come with all your questions on how to get dirt-y!

This class is part of a series led by Master Gardener, Don Ludke that is designed to prepare you to “practically” provide sufficient food from a patio, medium sized suburban home garden, a not-for-profit homestead, or a small farm. The series includes elements of composting, food preservation, caring for small animals, reducing energy consumption, and living in a more responsible and sustainable way. 

ASL Interpreters will be present.
