Curious about compost? Join the Victoria and Islands Branch for a guided tour of the Compost Education Centre (CEC). During the guided tour, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the many ecological gardening techniques and processes at work on the CEC’s site. Topics covered include attracting pollinators, permaculture guilds and food forests, organic vegetable growing, soil stewardship, and rainwater harvesting.

Due to the size of the facility, registration is limited to 18 people. If you are unable to attend, please contact PD@bcia.com as soon as possible so that your space can be available to someone else. Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather - the tour will be outdoors.

The CEC is a non-profit organization located on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen people, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. In service for more than 30 years, the CEC provides a year-round array of composting, gardening, and conservation-themed educational opportunities. More information about the CEC is available on their website: https://compost.bc.ca/
