GLASS House Mountains Community Gardens will launch its 2026 third Saturday of the Month ‘Talks and Workshop’ series with a practical, hands-on session focused on turning household waste into garden gold.
The kick-off event will be held on Saturday February 21, starting with morning tea at 10am (gold-coin donation), followed by a talk and workshop from 10.30–11.30am on Organics Composting and Worm Farms, presented by sustainability educators Envirocom.
Designed for all experience levels, the session will show locals how simple composting and worm-farming techniques can dramatically reduce waste, improve soil health and support more productive gardens.
With up to half of an average household’s general waste bin made up of food and garden scraps, organisers say there is enormous potential to divert material from landfill while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Participants will learn how to set up and maintain compost bins and worm farms, troubleshoot common problems and create nutrient-rich fertiliser that boosts soil structure and water retention.
The practical approach ensures attendees can put new skills into action straight away.
To help get people started, all attendees will go into the draw to win either a worm farm or compost bin.
Visitors are also encouraged to explore the community garden and chat with volunteers about current projects and future plans.
The friendly, relaxed morning aims to strengthen community connections while building practical skills for more sustainable living. Entry is free, with a gold-coin donation for morning tea.
Residents interested in gardening, sustainability or simply learning something new are warmly invited to attend and be part of a growing local movement towards healthier soils, less waste and stronger community ties.
The event will be held at GHM Community Gardens, 8 Coonowrin Road, Glass House Mountains.
