EEASC and Sonoco Recycle Host Upcycled Gardening Workshop

On Thursday, January 14, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., Sonoco Recycling, in partnership with the Environmental Education Association of South Carolina, will host a recycling workshop titled Maker in the Classroom: Upcycled Gardening Projects at the Columbia Islamic School, 1929 Gervais Street, Columbia.

Designed for teachers, parents and environmental educators, workshop organizers will share garden-related ideas for repurposing and upcycling materials that would otherwise be discarded. Project design creations will include make-and-take soda bottle biomes, self-watering classroom planters, bird feeders, seed starters and more. Participants will have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and tour the environmental projects created by the Columbia Islamic School.

Cost: Free, EEASC members; $5, non-EEASC members. To register and for more information, contact Jane Hiller at 803-779-0608 or [email protected]. Also visit SonocoRecycling.com or EEASC.org.
