Seed Ball and Paper Making

In this drop-in, hands-on workshop, participants will learn the art of crafting seed balls, compact spheres of clay and native seeds designed to be scattered in gardens or natural areas to promote biodiversity. Additionally, attendees will explore the ancient craft of paper making, using recycled materials to create handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds, perfect for greeting cards, bookmarks, or eco-friendly gifts. Join us to learn practical skills, engage in eco-conscious practices, and cultivate a deeper connection to the natural world through hands-on activities that inspire both artistry and environmental stewardship.
