Worms, worms, worms!

This children's school holiday workshop includes an entertaining presentation covering all the 'ins and outs' of worms, before the kids get their hands into masses of wriggling worms and create their own mini worm farm to take home!

Facilitated by Vermiculture expert Kevin Smith (The Worm Shed) who has been working with worms and educating children for three decades!
