…Master Gardener Home Composting Workshop – 10:00 Penn State Master Gardeners to conduct home compost workshops where residents will learn how to recycle organic waste from their kitchens and gardens instead of putting it in the trash. Composting is an excellent way to recycle vegetable scraps,grass clippings, leaves, and other organic materials and turn them into a useful and valuable product to naturally improve the soil.
Workshop attendees will also learn how to build effective, yet inexpensive home compost bins to meet their needs.  See more at http://www.lcswma.org/lessonPlans.asp#FREE
