Adult Worm Farm Workshop [Kwinana]
2026-05-09 11:30 - 12:00 (Australia/Perth)
Worms are a great way to convert your kitchen waste into fertiliser. They convert the waste into both liquid fertiliser and castings that are great for plants.

You will learn all about the art of worm farming with a hands-on presentation covering all aspects of worms, worm farming and the roles worms play in recycling and waste management.

This is followed by an informal question time and a practical demonstration in setting up, operating and maintaining a worm farm by Kevin from The Worm Shed.

City of Kwinana residents can purchase a fully established Worm Farm package (including worms) at a subsidised price of $100.00. Proof of residency required. Only one package can be purchased per household.

Worm farms can only be purchased on the day and must be pre-ordered during the booking process.
