Free Composting Workshop Coming to Hāwera

The Friends of Hāwera Parks, in partnership with South Taranaki District Council, are inviting locals to their September activity - a free “How to Compost” workshop.

Join Sustainable Taranaki’s Mieke Verschoor at King Edward Park, Hāwera, on Saturday 13 September from 10am to 12pm for a hands-on session on the basics of composting. You’ll learn what ingredients to use, what to avoid, and how to create a healthy compost mix for your garden. There’ll even be spot prizes up for grabs, thanks to Bunnings Hāwera.

The workshop will go ahead rain or shine, so bring a raincoat just in case.

South Taranaki District Council is committed to reducing waste and encouraging sustainable practices. Composting at home is a simple and effective way to recycle food scraps and green waste, helping to create nutrient-rich compost for your garden. It’s also a great step toward growing your own vegetables—good for your wallet and the environment.
