Get your hands dirty, and conduct some simple scientific testing on GALLANT's citizen science compost heap. Together, we will take a look at the hidden world of compost through a microscope, and explore other ways to get involved, including through our GALLANT App!

This workshop will be a great way to explore composting, soil health, sustainability and climate change through the lens of communities, art and science.
