The Earthworm Nursery is unlike any nursery you’ve seen before! In this nursery, you will have the opportunity to “hatch” your own earthworms from cocoons and then watch them grow and dig in the greenhouse habitat. Raise your “baby” earthworms in the clear, viewing silo, then, release them into the greenhouse habitat once they hatch. The Earthworm nursery teaches about the life cycle of earthworms as well as the advantages of having earthworms in your garden! In fact, when you are done with the habitat, simply release the worms into your garden where they can live for 2-3 years while naturally enhancing the soil. Recommended for children ages 4 and up.

**Please Note: There is an additional $4.00 shipping charge for approximately 50 earthworm cocoons, which you will include in the mail-in certificate to receive your larvae. Since your earthworms are living creatures, they cannot be shipped during extreme temperatures, so if your area is experiencing especially hot or cold weather there may be a delay in shipping.**
