Composting Workshop

Thursday 5 June (World Environment Day) 5pm at Mint Street Park

To mark the World Environment Day local residents are invited to join a free workshop about how to successfully compost kitchen & garden waste at home or in the community. We will give a short introduction about why composting our organic waste is good for the environment, demonstrate how to set up a compost bin, and provide information about how to convert kitchen and garden waste successfully into ?black gold? (compost). All participants will enter a prize draw and can win a 330l home compost bin. Children are welcome.

The event is also part of the celebration for the successful revival of Mint Street Park organised by BOST, which runs from 4pm to 7pm and includes Brazilian music from Sambura, children's activities, refreshments and information. Everyone who attends will be invited to plant a mint plant.

Worms eating my garbage

Saturday 7 June 9am at REPA, Dickens Square

Local residents are invited to join a workshop about worm composting. The event includes an introduction into worm composting and practical demonstrations about how to start and maintain your own wormery. The organisers will also distribute free wormeries to interested residents and schools based in SE1 and SE11 as part of the community vermicomposting initiative.

The initiative is funded by the Cross River Partnership and has been developed in partnership with St. Mungo's, an organisation assisting people in London. The wormeries are produced at St. Mungo's carpenter workshop; thereby providing training and employment opportunities for homeless people.
