(MOSTLY) SKIPPING THE GREEN BIN, FEB 22 11AM

What happens when scraps and debris stay where they’re used and grown? What's the difference between living soil and dead dirt? This workshop looks at how keeping organic waste local reduces emissions, builds real soil, and shifts composting from an exported service into a shared, everyday practice.

Maggie Owsley is an ecological systems artist and Composter-in-Residence at Urban Farm Oasis. She works with what’s already here, turning bulk urban waste streams like café grounds and bunny bedding into pest-resistant compost builds on site, showing urban compost is not only attainable but can be a joyful act of climate hope. Through soil building and systems art practice, she invites people to stay with cycles of decay and renewal, holding grief and joy while practicing collective care.
