Bring your kitchen scraps or simply come along to help us process the compost materials we've collected. Together, we’ll chop up fruit and veggie scraps, shred cardboard, and prepare everything for composting — turning waste into rich soil for our garden.
No experience? No problem! We’ll provide all the tools and standard-size latex gloves you need (limited kids’ gloves available). This is a great opportunity to learn about composting, meet fellow eco-enthusiasts, and make a real difference for our environment.
Drop in anytime between 7:30 PM and 10:00 PM — stay for as long or as little as you like. This event runs rain or shine (we’ll move under shelter if needed).
Come get your hands dirty and help us build a greener community — we can’t wait to see you there!
