Vancouver, Wash. – Clark County’s Master Composter Recyclers will host an open house this weekend as part of the seventh annual Art in the Garden event.

The open house is 10 am to 4 pm Sunday, July 14 at the composting demonstration site at the Center for Agriculture Science and Environmental Education, CASEE, 11104 NE 149th St., Brush Prairie. The demonstration site is at the west end of the NatureScaping Wildlife Botanical Gardens.

The composting demonstration site lets visitors view different bins and compost systems, and see backyard compost being made. During the open house, composting experts will be on hand to share tricks of the trade and invite participants to help build compost piles. Visitors will also learn about zero-waste living.

Art in the Garden is a free, family-friendly event that combines 10 specialty gardens, art, crafts and composting education.
