The community gardens of Sampaio and Quinta do Conde hosted domestic composting training sessions in October for the gardeners of these spaces. The aim was to raise participants' awareness of the importance of valorizing the organic waste produced in the gardens for its subsequent use as organic compost. The sessions included a theoretical component and the distribution of a composting leaflet.
The Sesimbra Municipal Council provides free domestic composters to plot holders in the Sampaio and Quinta do Conde gardens, upon request from interested parties.
The Community Gardens of Sampaio and Quinta do Conde are part of the Hortas de Sesimbra project, developed by the Sesimbra Municipal Council, which aims to promote traditional farming, with a tendency towards organic methods, as a leisure activity or economic supplement.
