Worms, the Humble Ferrymen (and voracious eaters!)
A close look at worms as quiet translators between life, death, and garden fertility. We’ll explore vermicompost as both biology and relationship; slow, intimate, and essential to living soil systems.
Instructor: Maggie Owsley is an ecological systems artist and Composter-in-Residence at Urban Farm Oasis. She works with what’s already here, turning bulk urban waste streams like café grounds and bunny bedding into pest-resistant compost builds on site, showing urban compost is not only attainable but can be a joyful act of climate hope. Through soil building and systems art practice, she invites people to stay with cycles of decay and renewal, holding grief and joy while practicing collective care.
