Restaurant 2 Garden envisions resilient, sovereign communities. One way to achieve this vision is through crafting programming that is accessible and responsive, and by encouraging each other to find our own ways toward a decentralized food system.

As we build our work and grow our visibility we’ve created workshops, tours, and materials to share about what we do and how we do it, for community members within the C-ID and for people throughout the waste management community. Our audience ranges from children at the Wing Luke Museum summer camps, students at the One World School, Lakeside Middle School, and University of Washington, [other compost professionals at conferences], and elders who have plots at the Danny Woo Community Garden.

Our programming can be mobile, however we love bringing people to the C-ID to show folks how Restaurant 2 Garden is not only piloting a hyperlocal composting operation, but doing it in the C-ID demonstrating community power. Composting is an art, a science and a process that can be scaled to fit many capacities and we want to inspire people to participate.
