Join Canberra Seed Savers for a “Seed Bomb” workshop. These dried out mud pies grow herbs and flowers, feed the bees and bring beauty to unloved spaces. 

This workshop is for kids of all ages (including the grown-up ones!). Workshop runs for 40 minutes, and you can take home your own seed bombs to dry out and then lob into your garden. No equipment or experience needed but please wear clothes that can get a bit messy. All ingredients are safe and non-toxic. 

Seeds are magical! Every seed is a capsule of new life. And seed bombs are a great way to spread seeds in hard to reach or disused spaces as well as being a wonderful way to excite kids about seeds and growing. Seed bombs don’t belong in or near our native bush land but are great for a fun approach to beautifying your garden. Seed bombs can even be ‘chucked’ in a pot on a balcony.

Making seed bombs is an engaging, messy, fun way for kids to learn about seeds and growing plants. And lobbing bee-food seed bombs is a fun way to create a better environment for our pollinators and promote more biodiversity. All gardens need flowering plants – whether its native bushes or flowering herbs or decorative flowers like cosmos – to feed the bees and pollinators we rely on to produce our food.

Canberra Seed Savers is a network of urban food growers and local farmers working cooperatively to protect our abundant, common heritage of open-pollinated food seeds. We swap and share seeds, learn and teach about seed growing and saving, and together build a resilient community seed sharing network – a ‘living seed bank’. We welcome you to join us and be part of the local network of seed savers, growers and guardians. Seeds are life. Seed saving is for everyone.
