Well, delicious fresh food doesn't exactly grow from the palm of your hand, but your hands are most definitely involved!

Tracey impressed upon me the importance of composting and creating nutrient-rich soil, so I thought I'd focus part of the lesson on composting (p.s. I made that compost visual all my myself!). Word mentors like Tracey help me build authentic lessons that are hopefully also fun and useful! Love to hear what you think about this newest addition to the Here! Magazine "Learn Here" collection.
