The Community Garden Compost Drive event kicks off this weekend in King County.

Five Renton gardens will benefit from the Big Garden Give that allows King County residents the opportunity to give back to local community gardens and feed those in need.

The campaign is a partnership by King County, Waste Management, Cedar Grove and Seattle Public Utilities. Participating in the project requires residents to go online from March 15 to April 15 and donate a bag of compost or pledge to compost. Cedar Grove will match each coupon used and each online bag donation with one bag of compost to a community garden benefiting low-income communities.

Gardening experts from the Master Recycler Composter East Program and representatives from the Just Garden Project will be at the Maple Valley Fred Meyer from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., March 22 at 26520 Maple Valley Black Diamond Road S.E.
