Great couple of days at #NorwichScienceFestival. Thanks to our volunteers and everyone who joined us at our Living Soil stand, learning about the diversity of #microbial #communities in #soil! 🌱

Join us on Wednesday and Thursday for another activity to learn about hidden medicines in our plants. 🏵️
