The Worm Monger: Hannah Churton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Churton, known as “The Worm Monger,” has made a significant impact in the heart of Bardon. Hannah initiated a community verge vegetable garden and a compost hub in her neighbourhood. Through these efforts, she diverted over 6 tonnes of organic waste from landfills in the last financial year. Her dedication extends to educating others on composting and verge gardening through her social channel, @the_worm_monger on Instagram<\/a>, which has reached more than 20,000 followers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
