Happy National Composting Day, TBAY. To celebrate, we’re plowing ahead into composting + overall summer gardening season tips + events:

  • The City of Tampa hosts its own Backyard Composting Program. Sign up for a workshop to start your journey. Pro tip: These sessions fill up, so book your slot early.
  • The Burg also offers its own composting program... and it’s equally popular. Book a workshop to get started — slots are full until September.
  • Want to learn from the plant pros? Sign up for Sustainable Living: Compost and Summer Garden Strategies on Sunday, June 23 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The guided workshop is $5 and digs into gardening tips for these steamy Florida summers.
  • For even more flourishing tips, check out our comprehensive Gulf Coast gardening guide. You won’t be disappointed.
