Worm Composting Demonstration

We are looking for one to two Master Composters to cover a worm composting demonstration for the Proksa Park Garden Club. They have two upcoming dates available. They are also purchasing the bin you will be putting together during the demo.That bin will be raffled at the end of the demo that night. Please see details below:

Proksa Park Garden club meets at 7 p.m., the second Monday of each month. Our attendance varies from 15-30. We are a group that does gardening in Proksa Park and sponsors a kids garden as well.

Open dates are Monda, April 14 and Monday,May 12

Our meetings are held in the Proksa Park Community Room at 3001 South Wisconsin in Berwyn. That is three blocks east of Harlem and about 5 blocks North of Ogden.

Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at nkreith@gmail.com

Thanks Nancy.
