Wormy Wednesday - Vermicomposting
2025-12-03 18:00 - 18:30 (America/Toronto) | Pam Kirkpatrick Branch (Tottenham), 139 Queen St. N, Tottenham, Ontario, L0G 1W0, Canada
Wormy Wednesday is here in Tottenham! The worms have officially wriggled into town, and they’re hungry for your help! Together, we’ll feed them and watch as they transform scraps into rich, amazing soil that we’ll share with our community. Every Wednesday, kids can join our hands-on vermicomposting adventure! Using child-friendly tools, they’ll prepare food for the worms, care for the composting bin, and discover the magic of sustainability in action.
To make sure everyone gets a turn, please register your child only once per month. Ideal for ages 3-10.
