Compost for a Greener Tomorrow: DIY Compost Build

Join us for a hands-on volunteer day at the OKC Farmers Market District's new Compost Education Site at Crosses Caps! 🌿

Collaborate with the OKC Farmers Market District, Oklahoma County OSU Extension, and the Oklahoma Compost & Sustainability Association (OCASA) to construct a three-bin compost system, creating a permanent community resource for compost education.

Whether you're new to composting or a seasoned gardener, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn, connect with fellow community members, and make a lasting impact. Together, we'll:

• Build and assemble the compost system
• Fill the bins with compost materials
• Learn composting basics from local experts
• Help create a new educational space for our community

🍂 Help Feed the Compost!
Feel free to bring compost-friendly materials such as:

• Dry leaves
• Shredded paper or cardboard (no glossy paper)
• Straw or hay
• Fruit and vegetable scraps
• Coffee grounds and filters
• Plastic-free tea leaves or tea bags
• Garden trimmings or weeds (without seeds)

✅ We'll Provide:
🧤 Gloves
🛠️ Tools
🥤 Water and light refreshments
🌱 Compost education
🪴 Free compost for participants (while supplies last!)

📅 Date: Friday, August 21
🕗 Time: 8:00 AM (Come for as much or as little time as you're able!)
📍 Location: Crosses Caps, 1305 SW 2nd St., Oklahoma City

Together, we're closing the loop by turning food scraps into healthy soil and creating a lasting educational resource for our community. We hope you'll join us! 🌎💚
