Composting in Ventura

AWAKE Community has a composting educational program in Ventura CA.  Working with community organizations and the City of Ventura's Environmental Sustainability Department, we've built four demonstration compost piles with resources onsite in order to show how to close the loop and heal the earth through simple gardening practices.  These compost piles will yield good soil for Ventura's community gardens and backyard gardens.

The next workshop is April 6th.  It's free and open to the public of course.  Please join us for a hand-on approach to learning more about sustainability.  

For more information visit the blog Good Earth   See you in the gardens!

Hickman Elementary Garden Spring Planting

Special thanks to Jeanne Bartley Archer for leading the Hickman Elementary School Gardening Program! AWAKE is honored to sponsor with soil and starts. Don't those kids look happy, and in their essence? Gardening is good for the soul -- young and old! :)
