New Landscapes: Bokashi Composting with Sustainable Little Tokyo

Members at the Contributing level and above are invited to a hands-on Bokashi composting workshop at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. Learn the Okinawan tradition of Bokashi composting, an anaerobic process that uses a special additive to ferment kitchen waste, including meat and dairy, into healthy soil and nutrient-rich fertilizer for your plants.

Facilitated by Amy Honjiyo from Sustainable LIttle Tokyo, participants will receive the knowledge and supplies to start composting, including a complimentary 2lb bag of Bokashi and a food waste collection bucket.

An invitation with event details will be emailed to members at the Contributing level ($200) and above. Memberships can be purchased or renewed online. If you would like to upgrade an existing membership, please contact the Membership Department at membership@moca.org.
