The Communal Garden: Compost 101

Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.

Join us for an engaging and informative workshop on the fundamentals of composting! You’ll learn how to turn your kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient dense compost that enriches soil and reduces landfill waste. Darien Blackwell from The Compost Exchange will guide you through the basics of the composting process, from setting up a composting bin to harvesting your finished compost.
