    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.
