Compost Garden Tour

I am currently organizing a compost garden tour along with the Beacon Zero Waste Committee. Event will be held on June 12, 2010 (and June 11th, 2011). The tour will follow the logistics of a garden tour and encourage neighborly knowledge sharing to help motivate and assist residents to reduce garbage output through composting. We presently have sixteen Beacon residents who have put their gardens (any size or variety welcome!) on the map and will share the joys and challenges of small-scale residential composting with neighbors and friends.

Goals:
1. Increase awareness of composting and principles of Zero-Waste.
2. Provide information about composting techniques and products
3. Reduce garbage output
4. Encourage fertilizing of lawns and gardens without chemicals

Two formal composting workshops and one vermiculture workshop will be presented on the same day at a set location. Check out our Garden Tour Facebook page for conversation and news regarding this event.
