Live Soil Microscopy Experience for Schools

Discover the hidden world beneath our feet - where microbes, fungi and tiny creatures shape the health of our soil, plants and food.

A Science Experience Like No Other

This is not just a gardening session. Students step into a hidden underground world - observing real, living soil organisms through live microscopy, projected onto a big screen.

They will discover how bacteria, fungi and other micro- and macroorganisms work together to create healthy soil, grow strong and resilient plants and influence the food we eat and our health.
