Discover the fascinating world of worm farming and how it can help you reduce kitchen waste while producing natural fertiliser for your garden. This engaging workshop offers a hands-on demonstration led by experts from the Worm Shed, making it perfect for parents wanting to teach their children about sustainability.
You'll learn how worms convert organic waste into nutrient-rich castings and liquid fertiliser, both excellent for plants. Whether you're new to composting or looking to enhance your eco-friendly practices, this session offers valuable insights.
The workshop is part of the Home Waste Compost Subsidy program, giving you the opportunity to purchase a subsidised worm farm at a discounted price.
The workshop runs for 1.5 hours, from 19:00 to 20:30 on Wednesday, 13 May 2026. It is suitable for families and individuals interested in sustainable living and waste reduction.
Participants are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during the session. Light refreshments will be provided to keep energy levels up.
