See the list of items to bring and register so they know you’re coming. Two sessions at 1pm (Full) and 2:30pm (open).
Join Alexi Dart-Padover from the Concord Land Conservation Trust as he guides participants in making clay seed balls—a.k.a seed bombs!—using the Land Trust’s collection of native seeds. The process is hands-on, easy to follow, and fun for all ages! The sticky clay can get a little messy, but don’t worry, supplies will be on hand for washing up. The Land Trust will scatter the seed bombs at sites where invasive plants have been removed, helping to restore disturbed habitats. Participants are also welcome to take some seed bombs home to scatter in their own yards!
This activity is part of a Winter Seed Sow workshop, where you can start your own native seedlings in reused milk jugs. If you’ve ever wanted to grow native plants in your garden, this is the easiest and most affordable way to try it. All seeds are provided; just bring any rinsed gallon jugs if you have them. The event is organized by the Concord Pollinator Health Committee, CCHS Green Team, and Concord Library.
Fowler Library will also host small 20-minute drop-in sessions January 14th from 3-5 PM.
