Compost, Climate and Community Gardening for Resilience

Join Paula from TWIG – The Way It Grows for an engaging presentation, Compost, Climate, and Community: Growing Plant‑Driven Resilience in Eastport and Surrounding Areas. This program will explore practical gardening strategies that home gardeners can use to support and protect our local environment.

Paula will walk through each theme—compost, climate, and community—and show how these interconnected elements can inspire an ecological shift toward greater resilience using simple, accessible solutions. Handouts will include recommended plants suited for coastal Downeast Maine.
