Third graders discover that Compost Happens!
Recently, we hosted a "Compost Rots" workshop for third graders from three Decatur schools. The students discussed "do’s and don'ts" of what to add to a compost pile; explored insects that live there; collaborated on a worm compost bin for their classroom; dumped leaves into the bin for next year's compost; and sifted compost to create a fine addition to any garden bed or potting soil mix.
Next semester's workshop will include sowing plants from seed and how to plant a Spring garden. In January, our collaboration with the school will be spotlighted at the Decatur School Board meeting.
Your support makes programs like this possible. Every year we interact with over 600 youth. Vegetable gardening, environmental education, eating healthy, and exercising are all part of the fun. Join today!
