Greene Acres Community Garden

Overview

Looking for a place to compost? You can join Greene Acres as a composting member -- no meetings, no open hours, no obligations, you just get a place to bring your compost. If you help out by maintaining the bins and turning the compost, you can take a bit home for your own use. A compost membership is $5, which is used to pay for keys, signs, outreach and hardware. If you don't want your own key, you can bring compost by for free anytime the garden is open.

Compost Guidelines: Only add kitchen waste to the metal bins near the gate. Yard waste should go in the big open bins. Add your scraps and cover them with a layer of sawdust. Make sure you replace the lid--it keeps the rats out.

The garden is open to the public on Monday, Thursday 6:30-8:30, Saturday morning, Sunday Afternoon.
