Backyard Composting 101 Workshop

  • Greenwich Botanical Center 130 Bible Street Cos Cob, CT, 06807 United States (map)

Discover how easy it is to set up and maintain a compost bin in your own backyard! Transform your yard trimmings and kitchen scraps into compost to return nutrients back to the soil and improve plant growth. Recycling organic material into "black gold" can cut our waste stream significantly and divert waste from incineration and landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

Master composter Britta Calkosz of Waste Free Greenwich and Tiana Santasiere of Greenwich Botanical Center will share the tips and tools of backyard composting from the ingredients and process to bins types and troubleshooting.
