Green Okanagan is hosting an all-inclusive vermi-composting workshop!

What is ‘vermi-composting’? Vermi-composting, or worm composting, uses various worms to turn kitchen scraps and other green waste into a rich soil. Composting in general allows you to divert waste from the landfill and reduce your overall impact, and using worms to do so allows you to compost in a fun way! Vermi-composting systems are small but mighty, making them an awesome solution to those wanting to reduce kitchen and food waste but are restricted by the size of their yard/apartment/etc.

What are the benefits? Composting your organic and food waste helps to lessen your environmental impact by diverting this material from the landfill. Instead of creating methane in a landfill, it will turn your organic waste into a nutrient-rich soil! How cool is that?

What will I be doing at the event? GO’s vermi-composting workshop is a hands-on evening where you'll learn from an expert all about this form of composting whilst making your own system to take home with you. At this event you will:

• Build your own vermi-composting system and learn about it's operation + low-maintenance
• Be provided all materials needed (including the worms!)
• Learn the ins and outs of zero-waste living

What is the cost? The supplies, instruction, and activities of this event are valued at over $110 per person. You will pay only $55 thanks to the generous donations provided by the Urban Systems Foundation. We are thankful for their support!

*Please note your ticket will include the cost of all materials, the instructors, and processing fees.*
