About Restaurant 2 Garden:
We’re transforming food waste from your favourite local restaurants into nutritious fertilizer to grow culturally-appropriate food & continue the circle of life.
Restaurant 2 Garden is the solution to safe, reliable, and clean composting of local restaurant food waste in the Chinatown International District's historic Nihonmachi. By taking food scraps from two local businesses - Itsumono and Panama Hotel Tea & Coffee House - and composting using safe and pest-free technologies in the Danny Woo Community Garden, this pilot project intends to support local businesses, “close the loop”, and provide high quality fertilizer for the gardeners of the Danny Woo Community Garden.
Long term goal: create a decentralized and hyper local community composting facility that brings waste management actions closer to home which would otherwise be “out of sight, out of mind”.
