Please Note:


  • Compost classes are free, but participants must register at least one week in advance so proper staffing can be arranged. 

  • All classes will be open for registration one month before each class date.

  • Each compost class is a two-hour, hands-on workshop in the basics of backyard composting. Worm Workshops (WW) are special classes that cover vermicomposting techniques. Build-A-Pile Workshops (BP)are special classes in which participants help build an entire compost pile and get hands-on experience in incorporating different materials into a pile, chopping ingredients, watering and turning the pile.

  • All classes are held at the Denver Urban Gardens' Gove Community Garden at E. 13th Ave. and Colorado Blvd. (Please park along Harrison St. when attending classes.)  - SEE MAP

  • Phone or online registrations do not guarantee class placement.  You will receive confirmation if your registration is accepted.

  • Priority may be given to Denver residents.  These classes are sponsored by Denver Recycles/Solid Waste Management and Denver Urban Gardens.
