Excerpt
Inside the Conservatory, Janae and Khahari stared at all of the plants and the large bins.
"Would you like to get your hands dirty learning composting?" a volunteer asked.
Khahari ran his hands through the dirt. "Yes, let's do it!"
"Alright, who knows why we compost?" a volunteer asked.
"Doesn't it help the microbes make good soil for plants?" Janae replied.
"Yes, it does! Very good."
"Yeah, microbes made my strawberries really big," Khahari added.
"You guys are so smart. Go ahead and pick up a bin. We're going to make compost, and you'll get to take some home too!"
