FREE Compost Collective Workshop

Annaliese Lines from Howick Historical Village

Enrich your garden and reduce your household waste!
This FREE workshop run by the Compost Collective, introduces the three basic composting systems that can be used in the home and garden: traditional composting bins, worm farms, and bokashi buckets.

Outdoors in the park under the shady oak tree in front of the Village, get the full run down and all the tips from facilitator Hari.

Discover what suits you best and receive $40.00 off toward the purchase of a composting system of your choice, thanks to the support of the Auckland Council!

Just turn up on the day or register in advance at: compostcollective.org.nz... All welcome!

Participants receive 50% off the Village admission voucher on the day. It’s a LIVE DAY. Meet costumed villagers as they demonstrate tasks such as butter making or baking on the range. As part of Bee Aware Month learn about the vital role of bees and other pollinators with an eco-trail and talk with the Village Beekeeper Corban.
