Eco Learning Lab
If you want to start a communal compost pile in your HOA, at your restaurant or hotel, or in your community garden, or even at your office building, our Eco Learning Lab provides the education materials and hands-on learning for you to get started! The Eco Learning Lab includes the Mid-Scale Composting Demonstration & Training Center and the Eco Container. Located in the Infield Farm at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, these facilities provide extensive education opportunities to expand the community’s composting knowledge.
The Eco Container, a re-purposed shipping container at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Infield Farm, has expanded our year-round educational offerings. This satellite location features solar energy, a greywater demo system, rain barrels, composting, drought-tolerant landscaping, and California-friendly gardens.
Docent-led tours are available upon request. For more information, please contact us: volunteer@solanacenter.org, or by phone at (760) 436-7986 ex. 707.
