Green 101 - Workshops for FREE

Did anyone know that the city of Winchester is offering FREE green workshops? I just found out as I was cruising the website. There are 4 sessions at several times throughout the winter (we've already missed a few, but that's okay because there will be more!).

Sessions cover everything from the bare basics to an in depth of each:
Solid waste - trash and composting
Energy efficiency - pretty self explanatory here
Water and soil waste - gardening, watering, safe cleaning supplies

Amazing that our city is providing some education for the general public. I'm going to try to make it to these, and you should too. Like I said, they're free to EVERYONE, not just city citizens.

Coming up this month they are:
Wednesday October 15 - 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Wednesday October 22

Monday November 3 - 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Monday November 10
Monday November 17
Monday November 24
