We propose to organize and host a series of 3 workshops followed by 3 workdays in the months of April, May and June 2011 focusing on three different composting methods. We are also asking for partial funding of food for barbeques to attract and thank participants in these events, the food planning will be overseen by our resident chef and garden vice president, Scott Kearns. At the end of the garden season we will host a composting open house, open to all, to assess and discuss our accomplishments, answer and raise questions and measure our results.
