Soil Mates
Class name: Soil Mates
When: Thursday, September 18th, 6-7:30pm.
Where: Growing Gardens Barn, 1630 Hawthorn Ave, Boulder, CO 80304
Class description: We invite you to explore the art and science of vermicomposting as more than a method for waste diversion… it’s a movement. Come get your hands in the soil, learn how nature regenerates itself, and discover how this simple practice can change how we live, grow, and give back to Mother Earth.
Biography: Alyssia Richardson is the founder of Princess Gardens Worm Farm, where soil is sacred and worms are partners in climate action. Her workshops, community gardens, and outreach efforts are more than just educational, they’re invitations to reconnect with the land and with one another. Alyssia’s work centers those who are too often left out of the sustainability conversation, reminding us that true environmental justice begins with inclusion.
