Compost Commons: Learn, Share, and Grow Together

Compost Commons Starts March 3 🌱

Curious about composting? Already have a bin but not sure it’s working quite right? Or just looking to connect with neighbours around sustainability?

Compost Commons is a FREE community program where people of all ages and experience levels come together to learn about composting, ask questions, and share resources in a relaxed, welcoming space.

Hosted by Karuna Compost, the sessions focus on hands-on learning, peer exchange, and practical support for home and community composting. No experience needed. Just curiosity.

What Happens at Compost Commons?

Each gathering evolves based on who’s there, the season, and what people are curious about. Some sessions may include:

• Composting support for backyard bins and worm systems
• Compost kits and materials exchange
• Soil life exploration and informal microscopy
• Short demos and practical composting tips
• Community knowledge sharing

Composting is not just about reducing waste. It connects us to our food, our soil, and each other. Whether you are brand new or have been composting for years, there is space for you here.

We hope to see you there!
