SOIL LIVES MATTER!
2026-08-05 12:30 - 14:30 | Idyllwild Nature Center, 25225 CA-243, Idyllwild, CA, 92549, United States
Come and learn how Mother Nature feeds her own earth with microscopic life and how this fits into the bigger picture of The Soil Food Web.

Learn about the problems we humans have created by turning our Soil into Nutrient and life deficient Dirt and then trying to prop that up with Man made chemicals. We’ll show you some simple and effective ways to turn your garden space around and grow nutritious foods the way Mother intended.

Will will have our microscope with us and show you some microscopic life in soils and feel free to bring a 1/2 cup sample of your “Best” soil and you can see for yourself how much life is there or not…

Also, please note: This month’s meeting is NOT a potluck, even though refreshments will be served. Our club has potlucks on a quarterly basis, and the next one will be at our Oct. 7th meeting.

Please call with questions.
