Discover the fascinating world of worm farming and how it can help reduce your household food waste. This workshop offers a practical, hands-on demonstration led by experts from the Worm Shed, showing you how worms convert kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich fertiliser.
You'll gain valuable insights into creating your own worm farm at home, turning organic waste into both castings and liquid fertiliser that benefit your garden plants. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your composting skills, this session is designed to inspire and educate.
This event is part of the Home Waste Compost Subsidy program, giving you the chance to purchase a subsidised worm farm at a discounted price.
The workshop runs from 19:00 to 20:30 on Tuesday, 24 March 2026, at the Bibra Lake Community Centre. It is open to all, including non-residents, with a $5 ticket price.
Attendees who wish to purchase a subsidised worm farm for $95 should bring proof of address, such as a driver’s license or utility bill. Light refreshments will be provided to keep you energized during the session.
This workshop is perfect for families looking to adopt sustainable waste practices and for parents eager to teach their children about environmental responsibility.
The event takes place at Bibra Lake Community Centre, located at 132 Parkway Rd, Bibra Lake WA 6163, Australia. The venue is equipped with accessibility features including in-map voice and accessible colour choice for those who need them.
Bibra Lake Community Centre is easily accessible by car and public transport, with parking available on site. The centre is a welcoming community hub ideal for family-friendly workshops.
