11 – 11:30 am : Water Cycle Restoration Using Permaculture
Part of Lexington Water Week, Nachie Braga of Geomancer Permaculture LLC talks about how humans have disrupted the water cycle, what we can do to restore it and how water holds the secret to combating climate change.
11:40 am – 12:10 pm : You Have a Compost Pile, Now What?
Join Seedleaf to troubleshoot your common composting problems. Whether you’re new to composting or just looking for ways to make your compost into a richer soil additive, bring your questions and quandaries.
12:20 – 12:45 pm : Kids Activity – Egg Carton Starter Garden
Kids of all ages are invited to come make their own mini garden out of a paper egg carton. Once sprouted, these plant starts can be transplanted directly into a garden or outdoor planter once the weather warms up, paper carton and all.
1 – 3 pm : Stitch It Don’t Pitch It Workshop
Join members of Lexington’s Citizens’ Environmental Academy as they create plastic-reducing, reusable items out of fabric scraps. Jump behind a sewing machine to make your own utensil and straw pouch or produce bag, or simply pick out a fabric and let the volunteers make one for you.
🍃🌱 If you have seeds to donate to our seed swap, please label them and drop them off at our Hospitality Desk before the event. Thanks for spreading the love! 💖🌿
Free & family friendly!
