Learn to Compost workshop at Gove Community Garden — October
Learn to compost at Gove Community Garden in east Denver — DUG educators cover the basics of building and maintaining a backyard compost pile as the garden season wraps up.
Why we picked this
October's Learn to Compost workshop at Gove — the end of growing season is the best time to build a pile, and participants learn exactly how to do it with the season's spent plants and leaves.
Late fall is one of the best times to start a compost pile — the garden is winding down and there’s a season’s worth of spent plants, leaves, and organic material to work with. DUG’s October Learn to Compost workshop at Gove Community Garden is timed exactly for that moment.
Participants learn the basics: browns and greens, layering, moisture management, turning schedules, and how to know when the pile is finished. DUG educators make composting approachable and practical, with a focus on what Denver gardeners actually have on hand in October.
The workshop runs from 9:00 to 11:00 AM at Gove Community Garden in east Denver. Gove is a longtime DUG site and a regular host for the composting workshop series throughout the year.
