Events

Live in an apartment or small space and want to reduce food waste from going to landfill?

Does your building not currently receive a FOGO service?

Tried composting in an apartment before and it didn’t work properly?

Not sure which composting system suits your lifestyle?

If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these, this is the workshop for you. Join us at the Angliss Neighbourhood House to learn how to choose and set up the right composting system for your home.

The workshop will cover different systems, what lifestyles and environments they suit, how to set them up, care for them and how to use the amazing resources they can create. This will be a hands-on session, so come along and get involved.

Be guided by Kat Lavers, experienced garden facilitator and Permaculturalist, who’s own relatively small garden has been featured on Gardening Australia, in books and magazines for it’s amazing use of space to create an abundant productive garden.

Her tiny suburban block produces almost all her household’s food—growing an incredible 450kg in 2020!
