The Green Festival is this Saturday from 10-2PM at Stillwater Mill Center. Please stop by the library's community room for the following free workshops!
Home Composting for Everyone 10:00-10:45AM
Composting at home is a great way to turn food scraps
and leaf/yard waste into a rich soil amendment for lawns and gardens. It also diverts those materials from the landfill where they would not break down easily. Join the RIRRC for an informational session on some easy steps you can... take to incorporate composting into your daily routine!
