KIDS got their hands dirty and checked out creepy crawlies as they created their own compost last week.
Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens hosted the school holiday workshop on Thursday 25 September.
The City of Greater Dandenong gardening team took participants through the stages and cycles of compost and explained how they could reduce their waste and help their garden and the planet.
The event was part of the Greater Dandenong Children’s Festival. See our ‘What’s on’ guide on page 61 or visit www.greaterdandenong.com for more activities.
