Seed Bomb Program

Learn about the vital role of pollinators while making seed bombs with your team, fostering ecological health in your community.

 
    • Enjoy hands-on team-building activities

    • Understand the importance of pollinators and food security

    • Create and package seed bombs to share with others

    • Design educational signage to promote pollinator awareness

    • Discuss actions to protect pollinators at home and work

  • Start with an engaging icebreaker focused on pollinators and food security. Then, work together to craft seed bombs and design bags for sharing. Teams will also create educational signage to highlight the significance of supporting pollinators. The event concludes with presentations and a discussion on how to protect pollinators in daily life.

  • Donate seed bombs and educational signage to a local camp or school to help create more pollinator-friendly spaces.

"When dropped, a bit of earth is all it takes

It germinates, it breaks open its shell

Tiny little shoots it will put forth

And yet a majestic entry into the world it makes"
