Science Series: Composting 101

Join Soils and Compost Manager Erik Stefferud and explore how compost serves as a sustainable, eco-friendly, cost-effective practice that not only closes the waste loop but also elevates the overall health and resilience of a garden. Delve into how compost production improves the circularity of the materials we generate here at Longwood and how it enriches our Gardens—and how it could enrich yours. Longwood Gardens is one of the great gardens of the world, bringing joy and inspiration to everyone through the beauty of nature, conservation, and learning. Visit us: longwoodgardens.org
