You'll be invited to observe worms up close and discover their incredible role as nature's recyclers. How do they move without legs? What do they eat, and how do they transform scraps into nutrient-rich soil? Do they really hatch from eggs? Explore how these tiny creatures break down organic waste, enrich soil health, and power the composting process. Join the Hillier Gardens team to uncover the answers and gain a new appreciation for these champions of sustainability. This activity is open to all ages and abilities-whether you're a budding biologist or gardener, or just curious about the world beneath your feet. Expect a welcoming space where you can get ask questions and maybe even hold a worm or two!
