Compost Area
 In
2002, thanks to local boy scout, Jeffrey Gorges, the Gardens improved
composting bins! With the donation of building materials from Capital
Lumber, Jeffrey constructed the bins. Also, a sign was donated by Gordon
Signs of Cheyenne.
Composting is a great way to recycle kitchen and yard wastes into a
wonderful resource that benefits your yard and garden. Compost enriches
garden soil and greatly improves plant growth. Best of all it is free!
By composting you help reduce the pressure on our landfill's limited
capacity. Yard wastes comprises up to 25% of the average household's
garbage. As a society we can't afford to keep throwing this resource away,
especially when it is so helpful to our own yard.
Composting is easy and makes free fertilizer for your plants! If you would
like to start your own compost, come by the Gardens and pick up a free copy
of “The Composting Companion” brochure. Come by and see the compost
activity area located in the north end of our parking lot on the north side
of the garden shed. In Cheyenne you can also purchase compost from our
municipal compost facility.
