Composting: A Crash Course

Come join The Compost Education Centre staff in a crash composting course! What is the recipe for compost success and why does composting matter? We'll offer instructions on what it takes to produce an amendment for your garden that is rich in beneficial microorganisms and nutrients using the 6 factors for composting success! No garden? No problem! We'll cover indoor and yard free composting options as well.

Kayla Siefried (she/her) is a settler in Lekwungen Territory and grew up in Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee Territory. Kayla is the steward of the Compost Education Centre demonstration gardens and the curator and main educator of the Adult Education Program. She can be found growing seedlings for plant sales, working with volunteers to keep gardens healthy, flipping hot compost, arranging expert instructors to teach workshops, or out in the community teaching about soil health, organic gardening, and Do-It-Yourself tasks that increase our climate resilience.

Kayla sees the act of growing food and stewarding the soil as one that can heal on many levels. A keen sustainability activist, Kayla finds meaning in advocating for and living an environmentally sustainable life that involves bicycles, healthy food systems, and a good amount of outdoor dancing!
