Making "Seed Bombs"

Recently we attended "Kids In The Garden Day" - a workshop at GRuB.  We met with a few other families who brought kids along for the day.  Played some games and then the kids made seed bombs! 

Seed bombs are a mixture of clay, straw, soil, and seeds.  You mix them together with water, shape them into balls, and let them dry out.  Then, when you're walking around and you find an empty lot or a ditch that looks like it could use some love, throw your seed bomb!  The idea is that the seeds will naturally begin to grow, without anyone tending to them - wherever you throw your seed bombs!  A great fun way to spread some nature around.  You can throw them around your own yard, the edges of your yard, or out in the woods somewhere, wait and see what happens!

Here are some pictures from our fun day at GRuB!
