Dr. Dirt

Ya’ll need to come and see this exciting In the Dark exhibit. Bring your kids and grandchildren, even the deep down little kid in you will connect to the exhibit displays that bring back childhood memories.

Helen, from West Texas, Seminole, THANK YOU for the phone call and conversation about this exhibit and what Dr. Dirt was adding to the displays, especially the “living soil profile series”. I greatly enjoyed that one and learned a lot. Thank you for your comments and coming to see the “In the Dark” exhibit too. Dr. Dirt will be adding more information along the way.

Question: What are some other interesting facts about worms in the soil, my yard and garden?
