Working with Worms

Join The UCRRA for a fun and hands-on program all about compost, worms, and seeds! We’ll start by talking about why composting is important and how it helps our planet. We’ll read Compost Stew by Mary McKenna Siddals, a playful ABC book that introduces kids to the idea of composting and what goes into making healthy soil. Kids will then get to meet real Red Wiggler Worms and take a peek inside a live worm bin! We’ll learn what worms eat, how they live, and how they turn food scraps into super-powered fertilizer. To wrap up, we’ll get creative making seed bombs—little balls of clay, compost, and wildflower seeds that kids can take home to plant and help pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This program is perfect for ages 5–8.

Accessibility: There is a large parking lot in the back and ADA accessible spaces across from the front door. There is also handicap parking and we are located on one floor with no steps.
