In partnership with the Maine Landscape and Nursery Association, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens presents the Green Spotlight Series, featuring local and national researchers, instructors, and field professionals from the green industry discussing topics valuable to peer professionals.

In this online presentation and discussion, Mark Hutchinson will talk about what’s involved in compost production, how to source quality product before purchase, and the opportunities for compost production from the yard waste collected or produced by landscapers and garden centers.

The variety of topics on offer will appeal to a diverse range of landscape-related professionals from nursery and lawn-care specialists to arborists, landscapers, gardeners, and landscape designers/architects. MELNA members are eligible for the CMBG member price and will earn recertification credits and several sessions will count toward the State of Maine's Pesticide License recertification. Please inquire regarding credit approval for all other network agencies.
