Join us to learn about vermicomposting or composting with worms, and how to create nutritional soil for our plants all year long. Learn about the different ways to compost, how the City of Ann Arbor handles composting, and where vermicomposting fits into this system. Mackenzie will answer our questions about how vermicomposting works, and how it can be beneficial for both indoor and outdoor plants and gardens. She will illustrate ways to set up a vermicomposting bin, discuss common issues that can arise, and teach us how to create a low maintenance food factory for our plants that we can then take home. Assistant Education Director Mackenzie Munro joined the Ecology Center team in 2015. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in environmental science and biology, and has 12 years of experience with other organizations, teaching environmental science and related topics to students and adults of all ages.
