Spring Plant. Eat. Repeat. | Zonolite Park/Nickel Bottom Community Garden

  • Zonolite Park/Nickel Bottom Community Garden 1164 Zonolite Road Northeast Atlanta, GA, 30306 United States (map)

Join us for an educational workshop on vermicomposting! In this hands-on session, participants will delve into the fascinating world of home (or small-scale community) composting.

Learn the basics of vermicomposting and discover how easy it is to transform food scraps and organic waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer for your plants. Brandon Brones, Atlanta Botanical Garden’s Community Programs Coordinator, will guide you through the process of setting up and maintaining a worm composting bin.

You’ll also have the opportunity to create your very own worm composting bin to take home.

Getting to the Garden:

As you approach the park, the road splits into Zonolite Place (which ends in a gravel lot next to the park) and Zonolite Road (which will take you to paved parking behind the park). Both of these are good options for parking and there will be peole available to help direct you to the workshop from there.
