On March 25th, the UF/IFAS Extension Services – Osceola County is hosting a workshop called “Composting 101” at the St Cloud Library, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. This workshop will teach participants how to reduce waste and improve their gardens by starting a compost at home. The event will cover both the basic steps and the science behind composting. With landscaping debris making up 20% of all waste, this session is designed to show how easy and impactful composting can be for both the environment and garden health.
