Registration is required for a sustainable container-gardening workshop at the Cornell Cooperative Extension education center in Albion on Saturday, November 7. The official Orleans County events listing supplies the 2026 date, and the workshop page lists a 10 a.m. start.[1][2] The location is the Orleans County CCE Education Center, 12690 State Route 31, Albion. CCE lists a suggested $5 donation; it does not describe that amount as a required ticket price.[1] ## How to register The workshop page directs participants to call 585-798-4265, extension 125, or email klo54@cornell.edu to preregister. Contact CCE before making the trip to confirm registration and current arrangements; the page does not state a registration deadline or guarantee that places remain available.[1] Kathy Contrino of CW Native Plant Farm is listed as the instructor. The announced topic is renewable resources and sustainable practices for container gardening, including the sustainability problems CCE identifies with popular potting-mix ingredients such as peat moss, vermiculite and perlite.[1] The announcement does not give an ending time or a materials list. Participants who need those details should ask when registering. CCE's general office hours are separate from the workshop's stated start time.[1] ## Sources [1] Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Nov 7 – Sustainable Container Gardening,” complete official workshop page checked October 26. https://cce.cornell.edu/orleans/nov-7-sustainable-container-gardening [2] Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orleans County, official events listing, checked October 26; lists November 7, 2026. https://cce.cornell.edu/orleans/events
