We’re hosting a Composting Workshop on Saturday 21st June, 10am-3pm
The perfect excuse to use the words ‘poo’ and ‘wee’ as much as you want all day! Find out how to turn garden and kitchen waste into rich homemade compost, discuss the delights of manure and get down and dirty exploring The Community Farm composting systems.
