This is from a press release by the City. I hate to admit this, but I was tempted. However, I have already signed up to work at my kids’ school carnival. Gardening is going fine, but developing a compost pile is not something I find easy to understand. The city offers you the chance to:

Learn how to compost in your own back yard from those who do it best - Master Composters, volunteers trained to educate others about composting.

The training takes place 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 2 and May 9 in the Orchid Room of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Center, 3220 Botanic Garden Blvd. The class costs $35 and is limited to the first 30 people registered.

To register, send a check (payable to Fort Worth Botanical Society) along with your name, address, phone number and e-mail to Fort Worth Botanic Garden, Education Office, 3220 Botanic Garden Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas 76107. Registration ends April 24.

This class is made possible by the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, Texas AgriLife Extension Service and the Fort Worth Environmental Management Department.
