About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Curious about composting but not sure where to start? Join us for a relaxed, hands-on Introduction to Composting session at A Space 2 Grow community garden in Sunderland!

This friendly, beginner-focused workshop will give you the confidence to start composting at home or in a community setting. We'll explore different methods of composting, discuss what can and can’t go in the bin, and cover the essential conditions needed to get things working properly.

Whether you’re a complete novice or just want to improve your composting skills, this session can be tailored to the group’s needs.

What to expect:

  • A relaxed and practical learning session
  • A look into the garden’s compost system
  • Time to ask questions and share your own experiences
  • A chance to help install some new compost bins and signage in the garden (optional)

What to bring/wear:

  • Dress for the weather (sunscreen or raincoat!)
  • Wear sturdy shoes suitable for the garden

Drinks and snacks provided.

We will move into the shed in case of bad weather, but much of the session will take place outdoors.

Come get your hands in the soil and learn how to turn food waste into garden gold!
