Help cut waste - learn about composting
Newly trained experts in composting will be on hand to pass on their knowledge to people all over Oxfordshire. Watch local press for details or contact Eiles Robinson at Oxford County Council for events near you.
Oxfordshire County Council, in association with organic gardening experts Garden Organic, has trained a number of keen volunteers, many of whom are CAG members, so that they can become 'Master Composters' (MC) and spread the word about the benefits of composting. Increased use of composting helps householders reduce the amount of food waste that they put in the bin.
Master Composters help with composting questions at Wolvercote Farmers' market
You can enjoy the garden or yurt with friends or relax with a book! You just need to keep an eye on the garden and make sure the garden is not being abused in any way. There will be a list of phone numbers to contact if you need them. Fun activities are held most weekend in the garden.
