How it works

Booking a school visit

Getting Soil Edu into your school is straightforward. Here's how the process works from initial enquiry to visit day.

1

Send an enquiry

Fill in our contact form with your school, year group, preferred dates, and any specific topics you'd like us to cover.

2

We'll get back to you

Within 3 working days we'll confirm availability, discuss the session format, and answer any questions.

3

Confirm and prepare

We'll send a preparation guide so your class is ready to dig in. No prior soil knowledge required — we bring everything.

4

Visit day!

We arrive with all equipment, materials, and enthusiasm. You just need a classroom — or better yet, some outdoor space.

"The Soil Edu visit was honestly one of the best science experiences my class has had all year. The children were fascinated — especially the live microscopy. We're still talking about it three weeks later."

👩‍🏫
Ms. Adaeze Okonkwo
Year 4 Teacher, Lagos Primary School

"We used the Soil Rangers resources before the visit, so the children already knew the characters. When the educator arrived and brought a real wormery, the excitement was incredible. Perfectly prepared resources."

👨‍🏫
Mr. Tom Holloway
Science Lead, Oakwood Primary School

"The garden programme has transformed our school grounds. Our pupils now run a composting system, conduct soil health checks monthly, and have a genuine sense of ownership over the land."

Community

Beyond the classroom

Our outreach extends into community gardens, libraries, science festivals, and public spaces — wherever people are curious about the world beneath their feet.

🏡

Community Gardens

We work with community garden projects to introduce soil literacy through hands-on growing and composting. Participants learn while improving their plots.

Science Festivals

Our interactive soil science stall appears at science festivals, environmental fairs, and community events — bringing live soil microscopy and hands-on experiments to the public.
