Summary

Martin County Master Gardener program, with UF/IFAS support, will present a lecture on backyard composting Thursday, Sept. 25, hosts said; the event is part of a lecture series and aimed at residents interested in home gardening and native plants.

The Martin County Master Gardener program will host a lecture on backyard composting Thursday, Sept. 25, the county podcast hosts said, noting support from the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Services (UF/IFAS).

Courtney (podcast host) said the lecture is part of the Master Gardener lecture series and described the topic as backyard composting; she also noted an October event on native plants in the same program. “UF/IFAS is helping as well, and it’s gonna be like — it’s actually their event,” she said.

Why it matters: the program offers residents practical instruction on composting and native-plant gardening, potentially reducing yard waste and encouraging native landscaping.

The podcast listed the event time as 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 25 and identified the Peter and Julie Cummings Library as a county library venue referenced earlier in the episode. No registration or fee details were provided on the show.
