Backyard Composting Basics - The How and Why - Discover the fundamentals of backyard composting. This presentation covers what to compost, how to manage it, why it matters, and the science behind it. Turn kitchen scraps and yard waste into compost to improve soil health, reduce waste, and support a healthier plant. Suitable for all levels of home gardeners.

About the Presenter:
Gina Scarano is passionate about bringing soil back to life. With over 20 years of experience in small-scale farming, she is a certified Soil Food Web consultant specializing in biological soil assessments through Dr. Elaine Ingham’s Soil Food Web School. Her work is rooted in a commitment to community and resilient local food systems, driven by the understanding that soil health, plant health, and human health are interconnected. A farmer turned soil nerd, Gina believes that if we take care of the soil, it will take care of us.

Library Parking & Entrance Information:
While the library's main entrance is under construction, we remain open. Clear signage will guide visitors to a temporary, fully accessible entrance via a ramp in the southeast alley, leading to the dock entrance.
The library parking lot also remains open, with temporary entry and exit available via Euclaire Avenue only. Parking may be limited, so we encourage you to arrive early and use street parking on Euclaire, Mound, and other nearby streets.
