Join us for a hands-on composting workshop in partnership with Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District at Ka-La Healing Garden Center. Learn how decomposers like worms, microbes, bacteria, and fungi work together to transform your food scraps and green waste into rich compost in your farm or garden —a powerful soil amendment that helps your plants and soil thrive.

In this workshop, you’ll:

Build your own mini-compost system
Learn how to care for your worm bin and harvest rich, valuable compost
Explore how composting reduces waste while supporting a healthier community

We hope you can join us!
