Bring the kids this Saturday, October 12th any time from 10am-2pm to make wildflower seed balls! It’s time to plant wildflowers and seed balls are such a fun and easy way to do it. We’ll have stations set up with all the supplies, including native wildflower seeds, for kids to make their own seed balls. Here’s a preview – see you Saturday!
What are Seed Balls?
Seed balls are simply balls formed with our native clay soil + compost, some sand, a little water, and Texas native wildflower seeds. We’ll be using the recommended ‘Native Texas Mix’ from Native American Seed. Rather than just scattering the wildflower seeds, the seed balls help to protect them from the elements. All you do is place them on the ground in a spot where they have contact with dirt. No digging required. They’ll break down and ‘plant’ themselves this fall, then you’ll get to see them bloom next spring!
This event is free and great for kids ages 2-12. We’ll be on hand to help out. Going to be lots of fun – see you Saturday!
