The Great Pumpkin Rescue: Build a Worm Compost Habitat

  • Greenwich Botanical Center 130 Bible Street Cos Cob, CT 06807 (map)

Your jack-o'-lantern's second act starts here! Bring your post-Halloween pumpkin (carved or whole, guts and all) to the Greenwich Botanical Center and turn it into a five-star worm habitat. If needed, a limited number of pumpkins will be available for purchase on site.

In partnership with Greenwich Botanical Center, this hands-on workshop shows the whole family how composting worms transform pumpkin scraps into "black gold" for your garden.  Through this interactive activity, kids will discover how these tiny garden helpers help keep food waste out of the trash and learn simple ways they can help care for the Earth at home.

Drop in anytime from 3:00-5:00 pm at GBC’s Horticulture Building to get your hands dirty in the best way and meet some of nature's best recyclers!
