Nelson City Council

Create your own Eden is a national programme where you can find all the detail you need to know on how to make great compost, improve your soil and produce fantastic fertilisers for your plants, veggies and garden all for free. The site covers traditional composting using a heap or bin, vermiculture or worm farming, and Bokashi.

Nelson City Council is a partner with Create Your Own Eden and offers local courses and workshops using the Create Your Own Eden information.

New workshops later in 2010

The Create Your Own Eden programme is now on hold for winter but look out for a new programme in Spring.

Council and CYOE partnership

Nelson City Council is a partner in Create Your Own Eden, a collection of other local Councils that have joined together to spread the word about the many benefits of home composting.
