    Easy Wildflower Seed Bomb Tutorial

    / 2 Comments

    We have been making “Seed Bombs” every spring for the last few years and thought we would share our easy and blender-free tutorial with you.  “Seed Bombs” are usually made with recycled paper or clay and a mix of local flower seeds.  The idea is that they can easily be tossed in a natural area in your yard and once they are hit with rainwater and sun, they will germinate!  They also can be purposely planted in shallow soil and cared for as you would any other planted seed.  The…

    It doesn’t take long for little ones to discover the thrill of bird watching.  From their first glimpses through windows or on walks, they tend to be drawn to them right from the start.  If left at that, this interest may peak and then wane as other interests take over.  If we take the time to fan that flame, even just a little…a limitless source of relaxation, joy and wonder can be opened.   I want to share with you a tool that just may help your little bird watchers along…
