Too often, useful materials are thrown away instead of being reused, repurposed, or reimagined. That is why we upcycle — to give new life to old items, reduce waste, protect our planet, and create something beautiful and useful from what others may overlook. Upcycling is more than a trend; it is a creative and responsible way to care for the Earth and the future generations who will inherit it. Registrants must bring their own big, deep boxes. 🥔Soil/potatoes/companion plant provided 🥔 Presented by Crystal-Renna of Chica's Urban Farm Homestead.
