Classes
We are charging a minimum $5 fee for all classes to discourage no-shows. To register and pay the fee you follow the registration link after the class description.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our classes will be offered on-line using a cloud-based service, WebEx. You will be sent an email containing a link that will allow you to join the online class ten minutes before the session begins. To assure that the class is not interrupted with unwanted noise, we ask that you mute your microphone until you wish to ask a question or make a comment at the end of the class. Since this is the first time we are attempting to hold classes online, we ask for your understanding and goodwill as we undertake this adventure.
Composting in a Community Garden Plot
This class is held in The Leslie House, the first building on the left when you enter the parking lot!
This first of two composting classes will teach you different methods of hot and cold composting that are applicable in a community garden plot, backyard garden, and even in your kitchen! Master Composters, Joet Reoma and Jesse Raudenbush, will lead the lecture as well as a tour of Project Grow's Compost Education Center.
No fee, but registration is required.
