Kek Lapis Compost

Join us for a 3-hour instructive and hands-on compost masterclass, inspired by our daily surroundings and regional food culture!

Learn how to turn kitchen scraps, garden clippings, fallen leaves, and even hardwood shavings into crumbly, dark-colored compost teeming with life. Learn a composting method that works in Singapore regardless of the size of your composting setup. Learn why composting does not equate to having to deal with rotting food, foul-smelling mounds, or unwanted animal attention.

Understand why compost-making, in ways that feed the soil, is a good way to connect with Nature's rhythms, and a form of climate action that anybody can participate in.
