Today Megan, a Master Gardener from Ramsey County, visited Jackson! The kids enjoyed learning all about composting and how food can turn into rich, fertile soil. They even got to get their hands dirty and were able to harvest the compost which means they separated the worms from the compost! The youth actively learned about soil and were excited to take part in the harvesting of compost!
