Master Gardeners Revonda Gilbert. Jessica Hines and Norma Bozenmayer recently led a workshop on composting and worms for first graders from Mrs. Mosketti, Mrs. Norman and Ms. Martin’s classes and kindergarten students from Mrs. Foley and Mrs. Barnhart’s classes at Patrick Springs Primary School.
Students learned about composting their food waste and how worms can produce beautiful soil. The students held and examined the parts of red squiggly worms and then built their own vermicompost (worm) bins for their classrooms.
