Join Berkshire Botanical Garden student and composting instructor Linda Murray on Saturday, June 1, from 10 a.m. to noon, for a workshop on the basics of vermiculture and how to maintain a compost bin. At the end of the session, students will walk away with their very own vermicompost bin they make themselves, complete with 250 mini composters (a.k.a. worms). It’s a great way for people to start composting at home and can be done virtually anywhere, even in the smallest apartment. Worm castings are an excellent soil amendment that can be applied to soils or made into a worm tea. Materials fee is $25.

Linda Murray is a Cornell-certified master composter and recycler who works in the public sector helping New York State decarbonize. She also provides landscape design services in the Capital Region of New York.
