Garden Party and Mural Celebration

April 1, 2026

What: A celebration of public art installations and an opportunity to meet your neighbours at the Compost Education Centre.

When: Sunday, May 24; 12:00pm-4:00pm

Where: 1216 North Park St. Compost Education Centre

Event Description: The Compost Ed Centre’s artist-in-residence is painting a cool road surface mural just outside our gate at 1216 North Park St. We’re hosting a party to celebrate the mural and welcome our new Caledonia neighbors to the Fernwood community. The event will feature pedal-powered music and local musicians, kids activities, botanical elixirs from Green Muse Herbs, and more! Please support this community event by bringing a baked good (with a list of ingredients) to share.

Site Accessibility: The Compost Education Centre site has paths made of wood chips. Mobility devices with wheels (such as wheelchairs, walkers etc.) are sometimes difficult to use on site. The Strawbale learning classroom is accessed via a wooden ramp, and it has a wide double door and a ramp leading up to it. Once inside the Strawbale, the floor is a level hard surface. There is a single-stall gender-neutral washroom on site. The washroom is not wheelchair accessible. There is a wooden ramp up to the washroom door and a small step over the door frame into the washroom. The retail space is not wheelchair accessible; there are four steps up into our retail space.
