What's living in your soil? Come and find out.

Bring a soil sample. From your garden, allotment, a favourite woodland, or beneath a tree you know well. Sophie will put it under the microscope so you can see what's actually living in it. You can also make a print from your sample - a kind of soil fingerprint, unique to your patch of ground. Come back the following weekend to collect it, and your print will become part of a growing archive of Stroud's soils.
