Composting will help your spring garden thrive

Imagining the lush garden you will grow once spring is in full swing isn’t the only way to get excited about the beauty, peace, and life your garden can bring. 

Composting speeds up the natural decomposition process of organic materials, turning them into a rich dark humid material — perfect for replenishing your spring garden. 

Begin composting food scraps, dry leaves, and woody materials today to create compost right in time to support your thriving garden this spring!
