At Peconic Land Trust's Agricultural Center at Charnews Farm, compost expert Paul Wagner of Greener Pastures Organics/SavATree will walk you through the essential ingredients and easy steps to creating what gardeners call "black gold."

Whether you're brand new to composting or looking to improve your technique, this hands-on morning workshop covers everything from the right balance of greens and browns to why quality compost makes all the difference in your garden's health. It's a small investment of time that pays off all season long.
