About this episode

This episode explores the importance of worms in gardening and encourages curiosity about the natural world.

To celebrate Science Week we're unearthing a special episode of Gardening Australia Junior! The theme of this year's Science Week is 'Seeds of Science: Nurturing knowledge for all'. They're not just talking about planting seeds in the ground. It’s about planting seeds of curiosity too! Every great scientific discovery starts with wondering about the world around us... Why is the sky blue? Why do apples fall from trees? What’s hiding underneath our feet? Join Costa, Nij and the Gardening Australia Junior crew in learning all about the secret lives of worms.
