What's on offer?
Ready to get your hands dirty? Head over to Platt Fields Park to explore the journey of food waste and find out what happens after the scraps leave your plate.
In a workshop of hands-on family-friendly activities, you will be guided through the fascinating composting lifecycle. Why leave all the work to the worms? Come and get involved and see how composting can revitalise our local environment.
What's it about?
Composting doesn't just help the planet; it can bring our community together and help nature thrive. Learn how to compost at home and participate in a series of exciting tasks for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're making a mud pile, a food waste bucket or working on artistic projects, you'll leave feeling invigorated by the little joys of nature that have a huge impact on our environment!
