Composting in Ocean County

Composting
in Ocean County

Your
Grandparents Did it and So Can You!

Travel
back to a time when nothing went to waste, “garbage” became “black gold” and farms
and gardens flourished in every backyard. New Jersey is called the “Garden
State” for a reason and Ocean County has a long agricultural history. Take a lesson from your grandparents and great-grandparents.
Stop throwing your “garbage” away and start composting! Learn how easy it is to
turn “waste” into a free-soil amendment for your garden!

Join
Sandra Blain-Snow and Tanara Hall from Ocean County Solid Waste Management and
Master Composters to learn about composting and gardening in Ocean County. As advocates for the environment,
they oversee the County’s public outreach and education on all aspects of recycling,
composting, gardening, and sustainability issues. This program will include classroom and hands-on
training in the museum’s garden.
