Want to learn how to reduce the amount of waste you throw out each week?

The Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation is hosting a free composting workshop at the West-End Community Garden.

The event takes place on Saturday starting at 10:00 in the morning until noon.

Alison Moss, Community Liaison for the group, tells us what participants will learn about.

“Really we’ll start off with what we can do with our kitchen, garden and waste scraps. What can go in a composter and what cannot.  Then Patti Eilers, who leads these, actually has some plans for composters that you can build yourself.  She brought them last year and they were quite popular.  So it will be a mix and again I encourage people to come with their questions and if we can’t answer them at this site, then we’ll certainly endeavour to find answers.”

Participants are asked to bring a lawn chair and a non-perishable food item for the Dauphin Food Bank.

If it’s raining, the workshop will be moved to the Dauphin Friendship Centre.
