Come on out to Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve for an afternoon learning how earth worms are natures natural, living recyclers by creating your own "living and giving science experiment" to take home!

Participants will start with a community garden bed tour to see a larger than life compost pile in action. We will explore how compost piles, with the help of several living creatures and other biodegradable materials, create "magic dirt" that we can use to jumpstart our home gardening projects.

Each participant will get the chance to create their own, small-scale version of a compost bin to take home with them after the event!
