Recipe for Seedbombs
- 5 parts hope (clay)
- 2 parts delight (soil)
- 1 part science (seeds)
- 2 parts patience (water)
Seedbombs contain life. Toss it. Wait. Enjoy!
When we put a seed into the ground we planting a seed of hope that something will grow. We toss seedbombs for many reasons: to grow veggies we can eat further along in the season, to germinate some wildflowers to attract birds and bees and also just for the sheer fun. These marbles of earth, compost and seeds represent evertying needed for a plant to thrive. The clay keeps the seeds in a dormant phase until the rains come (or the hose) and waters them into the ground. You get a surprise in your garden and what emerges is like a gift. Seedbombs take us 1 workday to produce, and we mix and match many types of seeds so that we can get maximum surprise factor.
A mini planet Earth in the palm of your hand. When you give at the $18 level you will receive a combination of seedbombs containing either veggies, wildflowers or poppies.
