An inspiring visit with grade 5/6 students at St Thomas More Elementary School. It is always fun sharing and learning together about the wonderful world of Red Wiggler composting worms and how they will help students grow stronger, healthier plants and food in their Garden Tower 2.

A great day of building, learning and sharing with Mme Jubinville's grade 6 class at École élémentaire catholique Saint-Joseph Wendover. Yesterday we added 500+ Red Wiggler composting worms to the class' Garden Tower. Students will feed the worms their class' organic waste. The worms will in turn transform the organic waste into nutrient rich vermicompost. The plants growing in the tower will be able to feast directly on the nutrient rich organic fertilizer being produced and they will thrive as a result.

A fantastic day spent at École élémentaire catholique de Casselman! There is a reason they say that many hands make light work. Students from 3 groups of Grade 6 students worked together to get their 2 new Garden Towers assembled and filled with soil. Thank you for your amazing help, your attention, and thought-provoking questions! Your enthusiasm for this new project was very evident. We are looking forward to following your progress!

A great day working with staff and students at École élémentaire catholique Saint-Isidore getting their Garden Towers set up and introducing students from 2 classes to their new composting indoor vertical gardens. Observing students’ reactions to seeing 500+ red wiggler composting worms being introduced to the class is always fun! Enjoy the journey!
