A man wearing a navy blue "Delaware County NY" t-shirt and a grey baseball cap is sifting dark soil or compost through a rectangular wooden-framed wire mesh screen into a black wheelbarrow. His hands are actively working the soil on the screen. In the background, there is a pile of soil, a greenhouse structure on the left, and green grass with trees under a cloudy sky.

Transform your kitchen and yard waste into garden magic with our upcoming class: From Scraps to Soil. This hands-on experience invites you to dig in and discover the art and science of composting. Participants will learn the practical "how-to" and the biological "why" behind the process, exploring the vital balance of nitrogen and carbon that creates a thriving compost pile. 

By mastering the essential components of healthy decomposition, you will gain the skills to cultivate your own "Black Gold"—the nutrient-rich soil amendment that fuels vibrant gardens. Beyond your backyard, composting serves as a powerful climate solution by diverting organic waste from landfills, where it would otherwise release methane, a greenhouse gas significantly more potent than carbon dioxide. Join us to discover how this simple practice sequesters carbon in the earth and fosters a more sustainable, resilient future for our soil and our planet.

Bring your own work gloves. All other tools will be provided.
