We can learn about backyard composting, worm composting, types of compost bins, grasscycling, and other smart gardening techniques at the City's FREE backyard composting workshops. In addition to the workshops, special discounted compost bin sales events are held throughout the year see prices here:

Please be sure to call the number below to make sure the events are still on, it is the city so you know how they can be unreliable. I also may not be attending as I have to find a ride, so please have a great time without me, or if anyone from the westside is interested that'd be great!
