Compost Kids Club: Teaching Families to Garden, Waste Less, and Care for the Earth

If you followed Go Green Foothills, welcome back! We’ve got a new name — Compost Kids Club — but the mission is the same: helping families raise thoughtful, capable kids through gardening, hands-on learning, and caring for the world around them.

In this teaser episode, learn what the podcast is all about: growing food, composting, exploring nature, camping, practicing environmental stewardship, and raising kids who understand that their choices matter. Join us for practical ideas, family projects, and conversations with educators, growers, and advocates dedicated to helping the next generation of conscientious global citizens.

The Go Green Foothills podcast is a green guide for families, working to promote local living and sustainability within the foothills area of Western North Carolina (think: Hickory, Morganton, Lenoir, and surrounding towns).

In this episode, we chat with Christel, author of Lemon and Cedar to discuss the red wolves, her passion for the earth, and what inspired her to create a children’s book centered around the red wolves.

You can learn more about Christel at her website or follow her on Instagram at @lemonandcedar.

In this episode, we chat with Erin, owner of The Patio Farmer to discuss container gardening and how to get children excited about growing in small spaces.

Located in Charlotte, North Carolina, Erin focuses on helping others learn to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs in whatever space they have available - whether it's in an apartment, a townhouse, or even on a patio.
