Join Anna Browne of Big Sky Flowers for the second workshop in her series at Mullingar Library.

This workshop explores the living ecosystem beneath our feet—how healthy soil structure, microbial life, and nutrient cycles support thriving plants—and introduces no-dig methods as a way to protect and enhance that biology. Participants will then learn practical composting techniques to create their own fertility, closing the loop between kitchen scraps, garden waste, and nourished soil.

Spaces are limited and booking is essential.

This workshop is part of a residency funded by the Creative Communities Grant run by Creative Westmeath.
