Travel

We will start in Frome at 10 am and finish in Frome at 3 pm, and SusSH will facilitate a car-sharing pool from locations in the South Hams. Further details provided on booking. Please let us know if you would like to be a driver

Schedule

On the day, we will:

• Visit the Loop Frome composting enterprise site, Broadway Community Garden community composting site and Frome Medical Centre composting site.
• Meet with the people who coordinate and/or manage the composting on the ground.
• Discuss the practicalities around composting and meet the town councillors who have supported these projects.

Participants are asked to bring a packed lunch and snacks. We will aim to have tea/toilet stops, but bring water or soft drinks. We will be outside for the site visits so wear appropriate clothing including waterproofs and layers, to keep you comfortable for the day.
