Worm Composting Workshop
Get up close with Spencer's working vermiculture setup and see how worms turn food scraps into rich compost. Then we set up a brand new bin together, hands-on, from bedding to first feeding. Learn to brew worm tea, one of the most beneficial compost teas for houseplants and outdoor gardens, and walk away with a one-page guide so you can start composting responsibly at home.
Worms For Sale
Want to start your own bin? Red wigglers are available in about quarter-pound portions, container included. Cash, Venmo, or Cash App.
Potluck
At 7 we shift into potluck mode. Share food, relax, and connect with other queer gardeners. Come for the potluck only if you like.
