Swachagraha Kalika Kendra - Community garden in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

The best place in the whole wide world to spend your time with nature!! On a serious note- it's a great learning centre where one gets know and learn about waste segregation, composting, growing and so on. Schools come here for hand-on sessions on composting, bio enzyme making and learning about sustainable practices. Their growing area is rich in seasonal fruits and veggies and its a delight to see the greenery around. Staff and volunteers here are very friendly and are eager to share their knowledge. One can also buy compost, cocopete and shredded leaf mixture which are essential for home composting. Kids can have fun feeding the cows, chasing roosters and seeing the earthworms at work!! Volunteers are welcome on weekend mornings to try out the various chores at the park, chit-chat, have fun and learn too!!

It will be a great learning experience, if you are enthusiastic towards nature, gardening and keeping your place and surroundings clean. During Saturdays you can visit here to learn about composting. Staff and volunteers working here are very kind and knowledgeable people. I enjoyed visiting here and something new I took out from that place. A must visit place from my view.

A beautiful sustainable space which creates black gold aka compost from hundreds of kg of waste. Hardworking earthworms, cow and chickens help in creating this space a living ecosystem with their magical manure. A huge learning and exposure for schools and growing minds, various boards made with plastic recycled into information and learning, celebrating waste management in Bangalore. A pride of Bangalore and a space to learn about natural cycles.

A wonderful place where you get to know about waste segregation, solid waste management and home composting. They conduct a lot of workshops about composting, gardening etc.

It was such an inspiring morning at Swacha Graha Kalika Kendra in HSR Layout. Conceptualised by Solid Waste Management Round Table, Blor.This 1.5 Acre park has been converted into a learning space to showcase various models of home and community composting. Vegetable garden established with the compost that is generated. Everyday, 1000 kgs of wet waste is brought to this space and turned into compost. Bath tubs that were construction debris turned into vegetable growing cans Beautiful installation made with metal and plastic caps of bottles which carry the story of waste pickers who have now become entrepreneurs. So inspiring. Definitely a must visit place for anyone who is interested in composting. It is so well maintained and one feels happy after the visit.

The place was quite inspirating and very motivating to try at home. They teach home composting and are the first community composting unit. Places like these are the future of upcoming cities and developing cities like Bangalore.

It requires space in our heart and mind to have solid waste management school in the heart of the city. Great place to learn, adopt and speak about sustainable living practices

Great place to learn about zero waste living. Lokesh was great and showed us methods of composting. Will visit again to get hands on training.
