Come join the N.C. Cooperative Extension as we create compost in a jar! This take-home project can help create a greener home. Perfect for young gardeners.

This event is open to Forysth County residents in North Carolina.

This event is for youth.

Discover how nature recycles with our Compost in a Jar activity designed for ages 5–11! Kids will layer soil, food scraps, leaves, and other natural materials in a clear jar to create their own mini compost system. As they observe the changes over time, they’ll learn about decomposition, microbes, and how compost helps the environment. This hands-on, sensory activity is perfect for young eco-explorers excited to dig into the science of rot and renewal!
