DIY Seed Bomb workshop at united by blue

Seed bombs started to help desolate neighborhoods look better by adding vegetation in barren areas and birthed the “guerrilla gardening” movement. However, you don’t have to go rogue to make these yourself – dropping them into a planter will do, too!

Get your hands dirty in the DIY Seed Bomb Workshop with Green Philly Blog & United By Blue, as you create your own Seed Bombs! Green Philly Blog co-founder & sustainability expert Julie Hancher will also go over a few easy, fun ways to live a more sustainable lifestyle – and help you save money in the process. You’ll get to take home your seed bombs after the class – and plant them wherever you choose.
