August is ‘bring a friend for free’ month!

July 31, 2014

We are excited to offer a 2-for-1 special on our August workshops!  For the month of August, all Compost Club members who take a workshop can bring a friend along for free.  When registering online, simply purchase your workshop ticket as you usually do, then choose the option to bring along a friend at no cost.  Looking forward to seeing you and your pals at these fantastic events!

You can choose from two awesome August workshops for the promotion:

Natural Beekeeping
1:00pm-4:00pm
August 9th
Are you curious about how to get started with natural backyard beekeeping? Join Tara Beninger, local beekeeper extraordinaire, to learn all about effective and natural beekeeping. Topics will include advantages of different hive designs, how to build an effective hive for our specific climate, natural approaches to bee health, bee-friendly hive management, and more!  To register, click here.
Aquaponics
1:00pm-4:00pm
August 23rd

Aquaponics is an efficient, sustainable system that produces both fish and hydroponic vegetables! We will examine the development of aquaponics, techniques, new innovations and home-scale projects for the sustainable urban gardener. A range of potential crops and fish will be discussed, and we will also cover different materials and where to source them. The main focus will be on freshwater home  systems, with the Compost Centre’s demonstration garden providing a practical example. We will also take a tour of the large-scale aquaponics system at Mason Street City Farm just a few blocks away from the Compost Education Centre!  To register, click here.
