Join us at the Britannia Community Centre in the 55+ Room at 7:00pm on Tuesday, November 11th.Angela Hoy’s presentation will go over the basic requirements for home composting , describe the different types and ways of composting, including best practices. There will be a light-hearted quiz at the end to reinforce these.
Topic: Worm Composting
Speaker: Angela Hoy
Bio: Angela took the Master Composter course in England at Garden Organic, after which she volunteered at many public events talking about composting.
She moved to Vancouver in August 2017 and quickly found Riley Park Community Garden where she has been a leading volunteer ever since, and was instrumental in the installation of the composting area there, regularly giving advice sessions to new volunteers and many groups around the lower mainland.
Angela also took the Master Gardener course in 2020 and was a basic training mentor for the next two years. In 2023 she took the Master Recycler course offered by SPEC and has completed her qualifying hours.
When not gardening, Angela enjoys a challenging game of Scrabble, reading crime novels and cooking.
