Composting Made Easy with Stephen Baldonado

Laguna Beach Garden Club, Neighbor
Stephen Baldonado on "Vermiculture & Composting Made Easy!"

Stephen will illuminate us on the ways vermiculture (using worms in composting) can improve your gardens, both ornamental and edible, using a holistic approach to design, installation and maintenance.

Stephen owns and operates the garden design and maintenance business, called I Garden. He couples his passion for being Earth friendly with a holistic approach to landscape care and installation, by getting people to grow their own food in an attractive and functional landscape setting.

When not creating edible landscapes or working in his own garden, Stephen assists Scott Daigre with "Tomatomania" events throughout California and other states.

If you would like to grow your own veggies, compost with worms or just need to update your yard, Stephen is your guy.
