Compost and Wellness with PLANT
Event Information
PLANT is hosting a a Compost and Wellness Festival on June 27th and 28th.
On Saturday, 27th June (10.30 AM to 3.00 PM), the focus will be on composting, both to demonstrate how PLANT’s composting system works and to show people how they can start composting their kitchen waste effectively at home. There will be practical demonstrations in the morning, with experts on hand to talk about different methods, and an exhibition. PLANT is working in conjunction with Cambo, who will provide guest speakers. There will be a vegan lunch in the Community Garden and an opportunity to walk round and see how our growing season is progressing.
On Sunday, 28th June (10.30 AM to 3.00 PM), the focus shifts to Wellness. There will be practical activities (e.g. Yoga) and a not-to-be-missed chance to listen to our guest, top musician, writer and story-teller, Essa Flett. This promises to be an interactive and fun session.
There will be other activities on wellness, such as foraging and natural remedies. The day ends with pizzas, made on PLANT’s own pizza oven.
The aim is to demonstrate to people that there are cost-free and low-cost climate-friendly alternatives to commercially-produced materials, including compost, toiletries, herbal teas, cleaning materials and so on. Importantly, people will be encouraged to try activities that can then be used in everyday life.
