Welcome to the Create your own Compost workshop!

Join us in the garden for an afternoon of all things compost. We’ll show you how to turn kitchen and garden scraps into nutrient-rich compost – no big space or fancy kit needed. Just a few simple techniques that are good for your garden and the planet.
- We’ll take a look at different composting methods and show you around our own composting system.
- You’ll learn how composting helps feed your plants, protect soil, and support biodiversity.
- We’ll also explore compost teas – great for your garden and great for reducing waste.
Perfect for curious beginners and anyone wanting to green up their gardening game.
Meet your teacher:
Camila Barboza is one of Hackney School of Food's new garden educators, a food and herb grower, holistic gardener and forager. She is endlessly fascinated by the wonders of nature, and the beautiful processes that we get to enjoy as gardeners, such as seeds turning into plants and old plants turning into soil. She also delivers workshops with Hackney Herbal and you can see more of her amazing work on Instagram - @camila.beetroot
Take aways:
You’ll take away your plant we’ve potted in the practical part of the class and receive detailed instructions on how to care for them at home.
