Native Seed Bomb Workshop
Help us make native wildflower seed bombs! Seed bombs, or seed balls, are an easy and fun way to distribute seeds. This is a great way to spend Mother's Day while also celebrating World Migratory Bird Day, a global campaign that aims to raise awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to conserve them! This year's World Migratory Bird Day theme is insects, which are essential sources of energy for many migratory birds.
We'll focus on creating seed bombs with native wildflowers because they support a variety of insects and are critical for our local pollinators, such as bumblebees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. We'll walk you through all the steps and provide all materials for this family-friendly event. Just be prepared to get your hands a bit messy! At the end of the event, you'll have the option to take your seed bombs home, or we can hold on to them to use around the Butterfly Garden in the fall.
