Free composting courses for beginners
Would you like to start composting at home but don't know how?
Norfolk County Council and Garden Organic are offering free workshops around Norfolk between May and September 2026.
They will show you how easy it is to start composting at home.
You can choose between a face-to-face workshop or an online webinar. You must book in advance.
The two-hour workshops will be delivered by our Master Composters. They will cover the basics of home composting, how to get the best out of your composting and what to do if you have problems with your compost. There will also be time for questions and answers.
