Worm Composting Garden Party

Do you like parties?  Do you want to learn about worm composting in the comfort of your own home?  If you answered yes to these two questions, then you should host a Worm Composting Garden Party!  As a host, your role is to provide a party space and invite 8 or more friends (Township residents) who are interested in worm composting.  The Township will bring the workshop to you, along with fun, excitement, a gift for the host, and all the necessary workshop materials.
