Kihei Charter Middle School “Work and Learn Day” and Composting with Worms Workshop AND ‘Ulu Trees
October 17, 2015 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
KCS WORKDAY 8:30am-11:30am, Saturday October 17th
Join the Kihei Charter Middle School Ohana for a transformative day in the school garden on Saturday, October 17th from 8:30am-11:30 am to be followed by a vermicomposting (composting with worms) bin making workshop from 11:30am-12:30pm.
Much to do as we prepare the garden for fall plantings. Come help create new growing spaces, refurbish and renew the composting systems and get new plants started for the garden. And come learn how to start a “pineapple pallet!
This year KCS students are supporting community food systems with their garden by growing food for Hale Kau Kau, the homeless food kitchen in Kihei, so we need all hands in the dirt to help make this happen in a big way!
Lots of fun projects for every age and ability! Sign making, compost sifting, vegetable seed plantings and more…
VERMICOMPOSTING BIN MAKING WORKSHOP 11:30-am-12:30pm; Saturday, October 17th
And don't forget, this workday will have a workshop component to help you get started using worms for composting in your garden or at your back door. We'll have the materials you'll need to make and take your own “worm bin”, including the red wiggler worms! Please RSVP to nio@growsomegood.org with SUBJECT: Worm Bin Workshop for reference.
Cost for the workshop for those contributing to the workday is $10 to cover material costs if you'd like to make and take a worm bin. $20 for anyone wishing to attend just for the worm bin portion of the day beginning at 11:30am.
