Composting 101 with Community Gardens
May 7, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
About this event: To celebrate International Compost Awareness Week, we’re running a Composting 101 with Community Gardens event.
Composting or worm farming is an easy way to radically reduce the amount of waste you send to landfill and composting turns food scraps into rich fertiliser for your garden. Visit one or more community gardens to check out different systems and hear from gardeners about their own experiences transforming organic waste into garden gold.
The event will showcase sustainable practices such as:
- composting and worm farming at home and in the community
- processing food scraps from cafes and markets
- composting toilets
- edible gardening

9:00 am – 10:00 am: Addison Road Community Garden, 142 Addison Rd, Marrickville NSW 2204 – Composting and worm farming workshop and garden tour
