Join us for a Seed Bomb Workshop on 3/24 with UBB!

Are you a gardener? Want to be a rogue gardener?

Good news – we’re pairing up with United By Blue on 3/24 for a Sustainability & Seed Bomb workshop.

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 in order to make these yourself – dropping them into a planter will do, too!

Get your hands dirty in the DIY Seed Bomb Workshop as you create your own Seed Bombs! I’ll be going over a few easy, fun ways to live a more sustainable lifestyle – and help you save money in the process.  AND you get to take home your seed bombs after the class – and plant them wherever you choose.

Plus, all the supplies are local, too: We’ll be using clay from Blick Art Supplies & local Burpee seeds.

Hurry & reserve your spot – at $15, it’s a great Thursday evening out!
