Informative Speaker At Thorndale Horticultural Society’s Meeting
By MaryLou Bontje
Thorndale Horticulture Society was pleased to have guest speaker
Cathy Nesbitt from Bradford at their March 8th general meeting.
Cathy Nesbitt is a worm advocate and founder of Cathy’s Crawly
Composters. Established in 2002, this environmental business specializes
in vermicomposting (indoor composting with worms) and organic diversion.
Cathy feels that vermicomposting is a leading-edge to our organic
waste problem.
Cathy’s Crawly Composters' endeavours will help to reduce
the amount of waste going to the landfill. Her system recycles organic
material by vermicomposting with worms and produces black worm castings.
According to Cathy, these castings are a high-grade natural soil
enhancer, one of the best nitrogen rich fertilizers.
In addition to Red Wiggler Worms, she also offers worm workshops,
complete vermicomposting systems, education books and videos. https://www.cathyscomposters.com/
Cathy is also a Laughter Yoga teacher and leads workshops online
and in-person. Her presentation on worm composting was informative,
entertaining, and inspirational.
Thorndale & Area Horticultural Society’s next meeting
is Wednesday, April 12th at 7:30pm at the Thorndale Lions Community
Centre and everyone is welcome. Stratford Master Gardener, Lesley
Glover, will talk to the TAHS about Keystone Species, namely: Oak,
Beaver, and Seastar--what do they have in common? Lesley will present
examples of key-stone species and emphasize their importance and
how we can use them in our gardens. |
