What if yesterday’s kitchen scraps could help tomorrow’s garden grow?

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the hidden journey of food after it leaves our plates. Peels and leftovers may seem like waste, but with a little care, they can transform into rich compost that nourishes soil and supports new life.

In celebration of Earth Day, participants will uncover how composting supports healthy soil, organic gardening, and a more sustainable relationship with our environment.

To enhance your experience, each participant is required to bring uncooked fruit and vegetable food waste (excluding garlic, onion, citrus peels, meat and dairy, and non natural materials) anytime during the day on Thursday, April 23. Please place your waste in the marked waste disposal area in the community garden located on the roof floor. During the workshop itself, please bring washed eggshells from home to help make the compost.

Together, we will build personal compost containers, cutting and sorting materials, layering them inside their containers, and labeling their creations. Each container becomes the beginning of a quiet transformation, where everyday scraps slowly turn into something that helps gardens grow.

Free and open to all.
