SUMMARY:Garden Basics: Pollinators for Four Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Pollinators such as butterflies\, bees\, and birds are responsible for much of the food we eat. Unfortunately\, their populations are declining because of habitat loss and dwindling food supplies. The good news is that you can support pollinators and enjoy them year-round by learning how to provide food and shelter in your garden space—whether your garden area is large or limited to a patio or balcony. \nGarden Basics sessions are free and open to all\, but space is limited. Please register below to reserve your place in the class. Registration will close at 5 p.m. March 14 or when the class is full. \nGarden Basics is a partnership with the Bread and Roses ministry at Trinity Episcopal Church in Charlottesville. \nPhoto: Laura Ockel/Unsplash

SUMMARY:Outdoor Composting Workshop—Turn Your Garbage to Gold
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn how to compost your food waste\, yard trimmings\, paper\, cardboard\, and wood waste into nature’s preferred food. The outdoor workshop will be taught by Piedmont Master Gardeners and the Bread and Roses Garden Team at the Trinity Church Compost Demonstration Site\, 1118 Preston Ave.\, Charlottesville. The workshop will move indoors if there is inclement weather. \nAccording to the Environmental Protection Agency\, in a single year the U.S. generates 292.4 million tons of solid waste that ends up in municipal landfills. More than 50 percent of this waste is compostable\, with food scraps alone accounting for over 21 percent. When added to a landfill\, food scraps decompose anaerobically (without oxygen) and release methane—a potent greenhouse gas—into the atmosphere. But when composted\, food scraps contribute to healthy soil\, healthy plants\, healthy air\, healthy water. \nThe workshop is free and open to all\, but space is limited. Please register below to reserve your place in the class. Registration will close at 5 p.m. March 7 or when the class is full. \n
