Nature Heroes: Mighty microbes mission
Join our Nature Hero squad to help Superworm find nutritional microbes for our plants and fungi.

On this mini trail at Wakehurst, help Superworm find nutritional microbes in our soil that support healthy plants and fungi.
Wriggle like a worm through our bespoke tunnels, encountering the Mighty Microbes and their incredible superpowers - from jumping Springtails to teeny tiny Nematodes. Can you catch the whole gang and prepare some magical soil for Wakehurst plant roots to grow?
Complete this mission to collect your Superworm badge and add it to your Nature Heroes cape.
Bored of soft play? The Mighty Microbes Mission is the perfect Easter activity for Nature Heroes to burn off steam, get outdoors and learn about the incredible world under our feet.
