ECO: Thursday Farming and Composting

Composting is an opportunity to take something that is at the end of its life and offer a rebirth. Healthy soil means healthy plants and healthy people. Join Botanical Community Development Initatives in making change in the world!

Volunteers will learn how to create rich, fertile compost and how it is applied at their community farm.
