Let's celebrate composting in May together!
Learn how to compost with confidence in this practical, easy to follow talk and demonstration designed for beginners and home composters alike.
This one hour session breaks down composting into something genuinely useful and achievable. You will learn how to build and maintain different composting systems, understand what works and what does not, and take home simple tips and tricks you can apply straight away.
We will cover common composting challenges including pests, inactivity, bad smells and imbalanced systems, with clear, practical solutions. Through live demonstrations, you will see how small adjustments can make a big difference to the health and effectiveness of your compost.
Perfect for anyone wanting to reduce food waste, improve their garden soil and feel more confident managing compost at home, whether you have a backyard, a small garden or are just getting started.
Spaces are limited. Bookings essential.
**About Peg**
Peg Davies is a waste educator, speaker and long-time advocate for living with less waste. With over 13 years of experience working across local government, schools and communities, Peg is known for making waste education practical, engaging and surprisingly fun. Her guiding principle is simple: an empty bin is a good bin.
Peg has developed and delivered award-winning education programs, workshops and training initiatives, including the highly regarded Earth Carers course at Mindarie Regional Council. Her work has been widely recognised, with Costa from Gardening Australia describing her approach as “probably the best waste education you’re likely to get.”
Having lived in inner-suburban Perth for more than 40 years, Peg brings a deeply local and lived perspective to her work, explored through her ongoing project The Last Tip. Her sessions focus on ‘lessence’ – the essence of less – showing how small, thoughtful changes can create meaningful impact without being costly or overwhelming.
