The Gardenship™ Cafe
Concept by WastePlant
The Gardenship™ Cafe offers a new and unique experience where a restaurant or cafe operates normally during operational hours, and after hours it becomes a composting facility. The bench seating used is actually a beautifully designed compost box which is smell and pest free.
This concept is a true representation of the circular economy in action — an innovative working cafe ecosystem. The space is a living laboratory that can also provide educational workshops, talks and seminars. Opening soon.

Worm story for me goes back 45 years as Charles Darwin called the lungs of the earth which he studied for 25 years in his career. The worm engine room of composting organic waste which for 60 million years has created a perfectly balanced ecosystem with flora, fauna and habitat called living systems we are dependent on healthy soil for food. Therefore, worms and microbes are ultimately needed to create ecological habitats. Please watch the video for the worm story.
