Often considered unpalatable animals, the earthworm’s inexhaustible work is indispensable for the equilibrium of the soil. The design of the « wormcomposter », seemingly fallen from the sky, acts as a rejuvenation device in the Monbenon park. Its inhabitants process organic matter nurturing the flower meadow above, therefore the earthworms role in the ecosystem can be perceived by the visitor through the gain in biodiversity and beauty.
