4. Confirm booking: Press the BOOK NOW button and complete the form. While completing the form, you will be asked to choose between the Wiggly Worm Farm Discovery and Seed-to-Plate: Planting Edible Pots programs. For more information about each program, check out the question "What to Expect" above. 

No payment is required at this step. Based on the number of participants informed, we will issue an invoice and send it to you via email for payment before the incursion.

During the booking, you choose one of our three programs:

🌿 Exploring Herbs

Students can explore herbs and their varying uses, discovering the wide range of culinary and medicinal benefits. We look at native and non native herbs and how you can grow herbs at home. Students receive propagated herbs to grow in the classroom along with samples of herbs that they can dry and use.

🌱 Farm to Fork Journey

Students map out the journey that food takes as it travels from farm to fork in varying situations. We consider environmental and sustainable considerations, the differences between organic and non organic foods and the health benefits of eating fresh food. Students get to plant a pot of microgreens to grow at school or home.

🥕 Living Soils

Students dive into soil exploration, record their findings and make predictions. We discover what makes great soil and how we can turn all soils into great soil for growing. Students make a liquid fertiliser from plants that they can watch over the coming weeks as it develops. This can then be used at school or at home.

Our school incursion cancellation policy requires schools to provide a written notice of cancellation at least 14 days before the scheduled incursion date to receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 7 to 13 days prior to the incursion will incur a 50% cancellation fee. Unfortunately, no refunds will be issued for cancellations made less than 7 days before the excursion. Exceptions to this policy may be considered in cases of extreme weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances at the discretion of the administration. We reserve the right to cancel the excursion if conditions are deemed unsafe, with a full refund provided.
