    One can also go to University of Florida IFAS website and find events that way. There is a lot of excellent info on that site.

    >>>Would like to know where they post up coming events.

    This event was posted on our “EVENTS” page for about a week, and featured in a front page story on 1/15.

    Would like to know where they post up coming events. Making a compost is one I would have loved to have attended.

    Great class yesterday..good speaker and teachers! Everyone should learn about composting and then “DO IT.”

    The Escambia Co Extension Office also has other interesting classes scheduled to be given monthly. Looking forward to the next one.

    Also enjoyed the impromptu talk given about red worms by Larry Martin. It was to our fortune that his Tallahassee trip fell through. Learned a lot from him. Hope he’s able to come back one day.
