Hello Composting Advocates!

Restoration Soils invites you to an open house to tour our industrial composting facility next Wednesday, January 29th from 3-4 pm at 2661 N El Paso Drive.  Our thermophilic facility is the first permitted operation in northern Arizona and we are excited to show you the progress we have made in building a more circular waste stream and producing nutrient rich compost and soil amendments. Feel free to come out to the Restoration Soils site anytime between 3-4 pm. 

 

As the new Community Compost Coordinator for Restoration Soils working on residential/commercial compost pickup programs, grants, community outreach, and social networking, our team looks forward to seeing you next week. Please RSVP if you know you will be able to attend.  

All are welcome and feel free to share this invite and let us know if you have questions!

Thank you so much,

Garden Weatherizing Workshop

 

Hi Master Gardeners, 

My name is Cami, I just started as the Community Gardens Coordinator for the city! I am working on putting together a Winterization Workshop on Dec 7^th from 1-3pm at Hal Jensen Community Garden in collaboration with our partner NACA- the flyer below has some details. I wanted to let the CMGA know about the event and invite you all, as well as ask if you would have any bulbs available to donate? 

We are looking for allium and floral bulbs. They will go towards education during the workshop and ultimately they will be planted in our communal and pollinator spaces to feed the community and attract pollinators to the gardens come spring! Let me know if I would be able to access any through your seed library or from individual members who have some on hand. 

I so look forward to partnering with you this season!

Thank you!

Sustainable Botanical Paper Making

 

Adult Workshop: Sustainable Botanical Paper Making

November 16 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

$45

Join Estefania Villaquirán, creator of Natural Integrators, for a fun and creative step-by-step paper-making workshop. You will learn firsthand the techniques of working with recycled materials and pressed flowers to create one-of-a-kind sheets of paper. By repurposing fiber from old books and egg cartons, you will dive into the process of shredding, blending, pulping, screening, dyeing with flowers, draining, pressing, and drying. You will also receive a pre-made card to adorn with pressed flowers, which you will take home, along with your newfound knowledge of papermaking.

Through years of experimenting with this technique, Estefania has developed strong skills in the art of making handmade paper cards at home and has made them available to the community. She creates her art pieces by integrating pressed flowers and meaningful typewritten messages. Her workshops focus on promoting mindful attention and presence, enhancing creativity, connection with nature, and relaxation.

Cost: $45 non-members, $40 Willow Bend members, includes materials. Space is limited.
