About the Event
Learn the basics of backyard composting: why it matters, how to do it and how to use the finished “black gold.” Also discover the fun of worm composting, known as vermicomposting, using worms, cardboard and kitchen scraps.
UC Master Gardener Volunteer Norine Cepernich: Norine has been a lifetime gardener, after getting her start with her grandfather growing tomatoes in his San Francisco backyard. She became a Master Composter in 2009 and a UC Master Gardener in 2019. She is a co-lead at the UC Master Gardener Garden Education Center (GEC), where edibles and cover crops are grown year round. Composting is an important component of the garden, which yields impressive harvests.
Registration is required. This class is limited to 25 attendees.
Parking: Free parking. Use the Delaware Street entrance. The Gardening Education Center is located near the Jockey Club.
