Master Composter Networking Event at Queens Botanical Garden

Join us for a Master Composter Networking Event at Queens Botanical Garden to meet up and share your experiences in composting with other like-minded Master Composter trainees and graduates. There will be light snacks and a selection of non-alcoholic refreshments provided. Expect games, exciting raffle prizes and we are also working on scheduling a tour for certificate credit!

This event will be held outdoors near the Visitor & Administration Building! If inclement weather, it will be in the Auditorium.

**Registration required** We hope you can make it!

This event is open to all ages and while the Networking Event does not count towards any requirements for the Master Composter Certificate, a Tour would count towards the Field Trip requirements.
