Seed ball making workshop

Saturday Mar.10th - 1 - 4 pm

"Seed Balls are one half inch diameter models of the living world. They can contain all the seeds for a complete habitat, for a wild or domestic garden. In a holographic way, each ball can contain the whole plant potential of the entire ecosystem. They require a fraction of the cost of planting or drilling and are hundreds of times faster. They can be made by anyone anywhere in the world where there is clay, soil, seed and water. Seed balls work on all scales, small to large, and can be air dropped over broad areas! Hundreds of kinds of mixed seeds, soil humus and dry powdered red brown clay, form the solid components of seed balls. When mixed with water and rolled into balls, they become little Adobe Gardens."

We will be supplying

Seed - Crimson clover, White dutch clover, grass seeds, wild flowers
bring your own seeds to add to the mix - California poppy welcome

Red Clay

Compost

Mixing bowls

You will need to bring

a container for taking your seed balls home - something like a small pizza box so that the seed balls won't be stacked too high on top of each other, they will be fragile.

At the end of the day...
You will be able to take 1/3 of the seed balls home for your own use and experimentation
The other 2/3 will be used to populate a guerrilla garden site at 7th and Hemlock

A planting day will be arranged within three weeks of the workshop date.

The cost of the workshop is $5 (which will be split between room rental fee, a portion of materials costs, and meetup website cost).

Because of space limits we have a cap of twenty people.

If you can't make it this time...not to worry because we'll be getting together to play with clay, compost and seeds again soon!
