Marion Natural History Museum410 viewsMany thanks to soil scientist Maggie Payne for her fun and fascinating program about composting with worms. We had a close up look at Red Wiggler worms and they definitely lived up to their name by jumping about during the program.

Each student had a chance to bring their worm farm home.
