The Wormery
The Wormery is proud to have kept 60 tonnes of green waste out of landfills in 2021!
Did you know that we developed a worm farm at The Grove called The Wormery?
Realizing a need for our compostable green waste, our team developed a way to turn it into a natural rich fertilizer through vermicomposting practices. This is just one of the green initiatives we have in place that supports London’s Agriculture Strategy, reduces our emissions, and strengthens our Urban Agriculture partnerships within the community.
