Parma-Powers Branch

Meeting Room B (80)

Learn about the basics and benefits of composting.

Composting can do more than make your trash less stinky! Learn how composting fights climate change right from your back yard and how to manage a healthy pile in a clean, tidy, and community benefitting way. No yard? No problem. We will cover the basics of vermicomposting (composting with worms) and how to help establish a community pile! We will also touch on basic teaching tools for families with children to help them learn basic biology through their composting experience and how there is no such thing as "away"
