LUCERNE, Calif. – North Lake Garden Club will present a workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 28, titled “Do the Rot Thing and Support Global Worming.”

It will be an informative hands-on presentation by Gabriele O'Neill, University of California Cooperative Extension Lake County Master Gardener.

She will share how and why you can become part of the solution to the garbage crisis, plus do your garden a world of good in the process.

The workshop is all about the magical transformation of garbage into gardeners' gold, also called composting.

Attendees will get to see and feel the many possible ingredients that make a great recipe for our creepy crawly friends, worms.

Participants will see what it takes to produce great compost in a relatively short time and how to make your own simple worm bin.

There will be discussion on what to do with all that compost that can be made and why its benefits reach far beyond a personal garden.

The club had a great class last month on getting gardening tools maintained for the spring by Don Smith.

This composting class will now get members and guests ready for their gardens.

The meeting will be held at Lucerne Community Church, 5870 E. Highway 20.

It begins at 6:30 p.m. with sharing plants and refreshments. The meeting and workshop will follow.

If you are interested in joining please come. You can check other activities coming up on the group's Facebook page at North Lake Garden Club.

The club is a member of California Garden Clubs Inc., National Garden Clubs Inc. and Mendo-Lake District, with meetings held on the fourth Tuesday September through May.
