A lovely surprise from my wild daffodils this morning

I had so much fun at the Columbia Young Scientists Expo this year teaching kids and families about the importance of composting and how to create their own compost-in-a-jar!

Can you tell the difference?
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! I am proud to be a #WomenInScience

Bobbi is my new hero. We should all try to be a little more like her.

When women and girls lead, everybody wins, including our planet Earth.

Enabling them with equal access and opportunities will help promote and build a more sustainable future for all.

Brilliant demonstration of how soil organisms decompose, fertilize & recycle

No soil #biodiversity and …the system stops (and so soil health by the way!)

As a care taker of planet earth I choose to plant trees on #WorldForestDay2022 . I can only imagine if a great percentage of humans would plant a tree today. Happy #IntlForestDay
