Mulch & Compost Giveaway - August 13, 2022

Register for the City of Ventura's

Mulch & Compost Giveaway!

Saturday, August 13, 2022

City of Ventura residents are invited to sign-up for our quarterly mulch and compost giveaway. Registered participants are invited to pickup free mulch and compost products. Mulch and compost products are sourced from Agromin and purchased by the City of Ventura to giveaway to residents free of charge.

Both mulch and compost are great additions to a home garden or residential landscape. Compost is a nutrient rich soil amendment, which helps improve soil health and supports plant growth. Mulch is used on the top layer of the soil to control weeds, retain moisture, regulate temperature, and make the garden bed look more attractive.

Participants will be expected to bag their own mulch and compost products. Participants are expected to bring their own bag or container to collect their material. Limited shovels and gloves will be provided.

Location:

This outdoor event takes place at Cornucopia Community Gardens on Telephone Rd between Johnson Dr and Ramelli Ave.
