Farm Visit and Composting Workshop. Farm owner Bob Gilbey gives an in-depth workshop on large-scale composting on a working farm that can be applied to small-scale composting.


Bob will describe the basics of composting chemistry and what a composting process needs in order to be successful, and help folks address particular challenges in their setup.


Picture above represents a loaded bunker after the shelter structure was built, with compost thermometer showing.


This workshop is open to a limited group of twelve participants. Please RSVP to receive confirmation and directions to the farm.

Joining friends on Native Plant walks is something I look forward to weekly. Photographing the flowers, trees , ferns, mosses and lichens is one of my greatest joys.
