Vegetable Preservation on Sunday, 10/2/22, from 1:30-4:00 p.m. and led by Lorraine Barbarash. She will discuss how to preserve your excess garden produce using various techniques – like canning, drying, dehydration, quick pickling, and making no-cook freezer jam.

Home Composting and Organic Gardening on Saturday 10/8/22 from 9:30 a.m. to noon will be led by Jim Hall. All aspects of composting will be covered: materials needed, what goes into the compost bin and what doesn’t, site selection and bin construction, and controlling pests and weeds. Participants will get a free sample bag of compost. Fee is $30.
Both workshops will be held at The Oasis at Warwick on 10 Fence Road in Warwick. On-line registration only by 9/27 at www.orangeenvironment.com. No checks please. Pay only $65 if you sign up for both sessions. For more info contact Peter Lai at 1-845-313-4246. https://orangeenvironment.square.site
