“Basics of Backyard Composting” workshop October 29

The Town of Wake Forest will host a “Basics of Backyard Composting” workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 5:45-6:45 p.m. at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre, 405 S. Brooks St.

Geared for homeowners and led by a Wake County Master Gardner, the session will describe the basics on composting and explain how to compost in your own backyard.

The cost to participate is $5, and registration is required at https://bit.ly/TOWFMulch. The nominal fee will be donated to the Wake Forest Police Department Turkey Drive which helps provide Thanksgiving turkeys to needy families in our area.

Everyone who registers and attends the workshop will be entered in a drawing to win a free compost bin.
