My First Compost Lab: Kids Mini Compost Workshop

My First Compost Lab is a hands-on children’s workshop where kids build their own mini compost bin to take home.

Children will learn how food scraps, dry leaves, paper, air, water, and microbes work together to create compost. Each child will assemble a small starter compost bin, learn how to care for it at home, and leave with simple instructions for observing their compost over time.

This workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly, educational, and fun for curious young gardeners.

Each child will take home:
A mini compost bin, starter compost materials, and a simple care guide.
