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 become composting experts during our four-part Compost Pro series.

If you’d rather learn at home, we have several video and PDF resources available:

CGC Guide to Outdoor Composting

CGC Guide to Worm Bins

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!
