Join us for an afternoon composting with the Alice Ferguson Foundation!

Have you ever wondered what to do with leftover fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells, or even coffee grounds? Come learn about a sustainable option for all of these and more with the Alice Ferguson Foundation! Composting is the process through which organic material is broken down into a nutritious plant fertilizer that's good for the soil! Participants will be able to learn about this process as well as make their own compost bins, perfect for your own at-home use!

About the Presenter: The Alice Ferguson Foundation’s mission is to inspire environmental stewardship by giving people the tools to understand, appreciate, and protect nature. Established in 1954, they are a public charity chartered in the state of Maryland.
