SUMMARY:Garden Basics: Fall Lawn Care and Great Lawn Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:Lawns can help prevent wind and water erosion\, control flooding\, break down organic chemicals\, cool the air\, reduce noise\, and sequester carbon. But they can also increase water consumption and pollute our air and waterways. Learn a sustainable approach to lawn management that includes\n• Using environmentally friendly practices\n• Managing weeds and pests while doing no harm to pollinators\, birds\, and other wildlife\n• Reducing your lawn with groundcovers and low-maintenance native plant beds. \nGarden Basics is a partnership with the Bread and Roses ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church.

SUMMARY:Garden Basics: Vermicomposting to Enrich Your Soil
DESCRIPTION:Composting with earthworms (vermicomposting) in an enclosed container can turn food waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Vermicomposting is an excellent alternative for people who lack the space for traditional composting. It can be done indoors in a garage\, a basement\, or under a sink\, or outdoors with some protection from the cold. In this free Garden Basics class\, you will learn how to set up your own system\, how to feed the worms and harvest the castings\, and where to go for resources and supplies. Space is limited. Please reserve your place in the class by registering below. Registration closes at 5 p.m. May 19 or when the class is full. Garden Basics is a partnership with the Bread and Roses ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church.
