Boulder County residents with a penchant for sustainability will have a golden opportunity this Saturday to enhance their composting knowledge without spending a dime. The Public Works Resource Conservation Division is hosting a free compost workshop tailored for novices and experts alike. This practical session, led by a seasoned Master Gardener, is scheduled to unfold at the Boulder County Recycling Center from 10 a.m. to noon.
Those interested in nurturing their gardens and greening their lifestyle can benefit from the workshop.

Backyard composting stands as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change, offering an effective strategy for households to shrink their carbon footprints. Those attending the workshop will glean insights into transforming organic waste into a precious soil amendment, fortifying their gardens, and reducing waste ending up in landfills. It's a hands-on experience designed not just to inform, but to empower homeowners with actionable techniques that merge eco-consciousness with everyday practicality.
