Community Compost @ Greco Gardens

Open May 2019, Tampa Bay Farm 2 School operates this public community soil making site at the community garden located on the campus of Greco Middle School. The compost bins are a design project combining the efforts of 7th grade Greco STEM students and USF School of Architecture and Community Design students. The short and long-term purpose of the compost site is to serve as a teaching tool for students as well as a source of soil for members of the community compost, student, and community gardens. Local residents are invited to drop off their kitchen scraps. This free community compost site is accepting food waste from neighbors, food pantries, and local businesses to make soil for the student and community garden. Located at the entrance of Greco Gardens off Gillette Ave. The site is maintained by volunteers and the finished product is given to contributors and community members when available.
