Description: John Ferguson, owner of Nature’s Way Resources, introduces participants to an incredible diversity of organisms that make up the soil food web. The soil food web is the community of organisms living all or part of their lives in the soil, and how this living system interacts with the environment, plants and animals. These organisms range in size from the tiniest one-celled bacteria, algae, and fungi, to the visible earthworms, insects, and plants. As these organisms eat, grow, and move through the soil, they make it possible to have clean water, clean air, healthy plants, and moderated water flow. The Fern Society’s meeting continues until 2 p.m. where you can learn about ferns for Houston gardens. Members, non-members, and the public are invited to enjoy this program. Call (281) 443-8731 to reserve a spot.
