SUMMARY:Wonders of Worms Workshop for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Join Merritt Island Wildlife Association (MIWA) and Eaton Worms to learn about the benefits of using organic worms for composting and beneficial food for wildlife. Discover how to create a natural fertilizer that grows vibrant fruits\, vegetables and plants. Worms are also nutritious snacks for many wildlife species and a prime bait for attracting fish. In this workshop\, you will become familiarized with wormcasting\, also known as vermicast\, and the process of producing natural fertilizers. Each participant will receive a vermicomposting kit. Following the workshop\, the Rotary Park Naturalists will lead us on tour of their native plant and pollinator gardens. A few lucky participants will get to conduct live worm releases in the garden and provide some snacks for the ambassador animals. \nWorms are the key to creating healthy soil production. Did you know wormcastings: \n\nContain over 200 million beneficial bacteria.\nAre rich in nutrients\, make great fertilizer\, and are a natural pest repellent.\nAre Lagoon Friendly due to low nutrient level.\n\nThe Eaton Worms team will have their entire product line for sale during the event with special discounts for workshop attendees. All the supplies necessary for a DIY composter will be available to purchase along with lots of extra worms if you want to buy more for your kit\, to donate as food for the education ambassador animals at the nature center\, or to release into the native plant garden. \nLogistics \nDate/Time:  Saturday\, Aug 17 from 9am to 11am \nLocation: Rotary Park Nature Center\, 1899 S Courtenay Pkwy\, Merritt Island\, FL 32952 \nCost: $15 per person (MIWA Members will receive bonus worms) \nAdult Learning Level: Workshop content and format is designed for individuals 16 years of age and older. \nAdvanced registration and payment is required to pre-order worm kits (click here) \n
