Exploring the Compost Pile!
Saturday, August 21st at 10:00am.
This week we will be exploring (read: digging in and climbing about) our two compost piles; one finished and one working. We will also be harvesting and caring for existing plantings. Come ready to dig! Tractors, trucks and diggers welcome!
Children of all ages are welcome to participate in DCCG’s free children’s program. No preregistration is necessary. We will meet at the DCCG shed at 10:00am and walk out to the garden together. It is a good idea to wear sunscreen and a hat and bring bug spray, water and a snack.
More info at dovergarden.org or email Traci, Youth Outreach Coordinator at the.mogget@yahoo.com
