Working with Worms Module 1

(Online or Onsite)


Join us in our latest online gardening-inspired arts workshop specially curated for early childhood educators titled Working with Worms facilitated by Cultivate Central in collaboration with The Artground. 
Working with Worms  gives early educators access to how one of our key creative partners at The Artground designs, develops and delivers gardening-inspired arts educational experiences for preschoolers.


“Learning about composting and worms. I thought it was really an interesting segment and it opened my eyes to many details about soil and worms that I didn’t know before so it has given me an advantage being equipped with this knowledge that I can share with my colleagues and in turn create exciting and wonderful activities for the children.”

– Claudia Francesca Rajasinghe, E-Bridge
