Dirty Hands, Happy Hearts – Picnic & Seedbomb Workshop

In celebration of World Bee Day…

Despite how beautiful and fascinating they are, we live in a world that isn’t always kind to flowers and their buzzy yellow friends. But you can have a lot of fun helping to fix that!

Join Jay Chen, local environmentalist, bee lover, worm friend, and bike rider in the messy and fun process of creating seedbombs to help support your local pollinators. He will be leading this picnic workshop by first teaching a little about the good that spreading flowerings seeds can do and then leading you in a wonderfully messy process of making your own. Seed bombs are little clusters of seeds packed into compost and clay and while making them you’ll get to unabashedly play in the dirt, bake your bombs in the sun, and then take them home with you to fling them to your hearts content.

We’ll be gathering by the Dix Park Flower Cottage and some light picnic refreshments will be provided. Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic blanket to sit on as well as a jar (mason, pasta, anything will do) to take your seedbombs home in.
