On By durhammastergardenersIn Garden events

The June Durham Garden Forum meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17 from 6:30 – 8:00 PM at the Doris Duke Center, Sarah P. Duke Gardens.  There is no charge for parking.

Rhonda Sherman, NC State Dept. of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, will talk to us about Vermicomposting.  Rhonda spoke to the Forum about backyard composting a couple years ago and touched on vermicomposting.  Many of you asked that we bring Rhonda back to speak specifically about vermicomposting.  She is back by popular demand.  Don’t miss this session.

This lecture is free for Durham Garden Forum members, all others can attend for a fee of $10.00 ($5.00 for students).
