No matter the space, urban dwellers can compost kitchen and yard waste. Using simple methods and construction, participants will learn fundamentals of backyard composting and worm composting in limited spaces. This class offers hands on activities, demonstrations, and discussions relevant for anyone who wants to learn. Bring ideas, questions, and excitement and you can even go home with your own worms to jump start your bin!
Please note: Class will be held at Seedfolk City Farm’s Greenhouse Cafe farm site at 2271 E. Main St. Rochester, NY 14609 (park on-street on E. Main St).
