The Dirt on Worms: Compost & Critters

Join us for a hands-on adventure into the world of worms and compost! Kids will explore how worms help create healthy soil, observe these fascinating creatures up close, and learn how composting turns food scraps into nutrient-rich soil.

Then we’ll get creative! Using worm-made compost to make seed balls that can be planted along a nature walk or taken home to grow. Kids will leave with new knowledge, fun memories, and a little bit of soil science right in their hands!

What to expect:

• Worm observation and exploration
• Learning about composting and nutrient cycling
• Hands-on seed ball activity
• Nature walk to distribute seed balls
