To all gardeners and wanna-be gardeners. Mark your calendar. On Saturday, August 31st from 10am to 12noon at the Vallejo People's Garden, we will have Master Gardeners of Solano conduct a demo/presentation on composting and vermiculture. Come spend a productive couple of hours and learn about vermiculture and how to make your own 'black gold'. Black gold is the foundation to growing healthy plants in the garden, plants in pots, or houseplants. This workshop is free and conducted by Master Gardeners of Solano County. Hope to see you there!
