Last Discovery Day of Summer

Both kids and adults learned about ecosystems by creating terrariums to take home. They also discovered the benefits of biochar for urban farming and gardening by mixing garden soil with biochar and some flower and veggie seeds and watching a column experiment from Assistant Professor Michael Kaiser showing how a sand-biochar mixture retains water better than pure sand.
