Green Living Workshop: Vermicomposting 101

Discover how food scraps can be transformed into a valuable resource right in your own home. Join local soil health educator Mike Dorion for an engaging introduction to vermicomposting, the process of using worms to turn kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost.
This workshop will cover the basics of vermicomposting, including how worm bins work, what materials can be added, how to keep your worms healthy, and the benefits of vermicompost for gardens, houseplants, and soil health. Participants will leave with practical tips and inspiration to start composting at home and reduce household waste.
Whether you're an experienced gardener or completely new to composting, this workshop will provide simple, effective ways to build healthier soil and support a more sustainable lifestyle.
This event is FREE! Registration required as spots are limited.
