Soil Workshop – Darren comes to visit

Darren helped us to look beyond the messy factor that soil often entails. He presented soil as a fascinating and highly necessary component of our everyday life. From the Ancient Egyptians to modern day life, we unpacked the different layers of soils and how to decipher which kinds of soils are in our local vicinity. 

Darren engaged the students in a range of tactile experiments which enlivened the senses.
