Join sustainability advocate and environmental educator Jon Alspach for a down-to-earth, practical class on composting and preparing soil for a fruitful spring. With a background in Environmental Science from Loyola University, Jon is actively working to reduce food waste by collecting produce scraps and transforming them into rich compost in his own backyard—turning residential greenery into a thriving wildflower haven and contributing to local ecosystem health.

In this class, you’ll learn:

• What materials to include or avoid in your compost pile
• How to start and maintain a composting system that suits your space—even if you don’t have a large yard
• Tips for achieving the right balance of moisture, heat, and aeration
• Techniques for using your compost to enrich soil and kickstart spring planting

Whether you’re new to composting or want to make your existing setup more effective, this class will provide you with hands-on guidance, tested methods, and a dose of inspiration. Sign up today! Complete and submit the form below to reserve your spot.
