Compost

The Civic Garden Center is home to a compost classroom showcasing many different ways people can compost. The classroom includes our in-use three-bin system, tumblers, an earth tub, and more.

Learn About Compost at the CGC

You're welcome to come by and see our systems in action. In addition, K-12 students use this resource to learn about decomposition and turning food scraps into black gold during Compost Kids and STEM field trips, and adults can join us for our monthly CGC Compost Tour (see our calendar for dates).

If you’d rather learn at home, check out these videos:

We periodically offer compost-focused classes, too. Keep an eye on our calendar or sign up for our monthly newsletter, The Civic Gardener, to stay in the loop!
