Worm Compost Workshop at MS447
WORM COMPOST WORKSHOP
You can recycle food waste in your classroom or at home with WORMS…
Fun, Educational & Environmentally Friendly….
Did you know that all food waste and biodegradable items that end up in a landfill do not become compost to benefit the earth’s soil since they are not exposed to the right conditions to break down? Plus, they produce methane gas, a leading cause of global warming. We can fix all of that by composting!
Who: Brooklyn Botanic Garden Master Composter Ms. Josi will present this workshop for all interested teachers, parents & kids.
What: Join us at MS 447 – The Math and Science Exploratory School to learn about setting up a worm bin to compost in your classroom or at home and get your hands dirty harvesting a worm bin. It’s a fun way to teach kids about compost, worms, waste management, science and gardening.
When: Thursday, April 2, 4-6pm
Where: MS 447 – Math & Science Exploratory School
345 Dean Street (Room 437A) Brooklyn, NY 11217
Why: To learn about Vermicomposting (Worm Composting), socialize & eat yummy snacks
Cost: The Workshop is FREE.
At the workshop you can obtain a coupon to buy your own worm bin and one-pound of red worms to start your own worm compost.
