ANSONIA - Spring is coming and the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center and Massaro Farm in Woodbridge are getting ready to host workshops March 23 to educate the community about gardening and more.
Organic land care, planting an edible landscape, and nurturing our backyard pollinators will be topics of the day.
At noon March 23 the Massaro Farm will host a visit by the "Duck Truck" Composting Workshop at the nature center. It follows a Beekeeping Workshop scheduled at 10 a.m. at the farm on Ford Road.
The goal of the farm is to expand workshops "to provide topics that would appeal to and educate our surrounding community on how best to maintain a yard that is both appealing and beneficial to supporting our natural environment," said Jason Merrill, board president, Massaro Community Farm.
The Duck Truck Composting is the brainchild of Alexis Wilcox, a teacher, master gardener and composter who offers a host of landscaping services.
The Duck Truck, a traveling composting works pace, is based in Hamden. It makes numerous appearances throughout the year educating both kids and adults on the ease and benefits of diverting our green scraps to the compost pile.
Registration for this free workshop is not required, but is appreciated. Call 203-736-1053.
