Berkeley: Come make seedballs!

MAKING SEEDBALLS
fun for all ages
Sunday November 18th
noon - 3 pm
at the Green City Gallery
1950 Shattuck Avenue
1 block north of University Av. in Berkeley


The rains have come and this is the season for restoring all those patches of barren land by spreading seedballs. "Seed balling" is a method of molding clay, compost,and seed blends of your choosing into small balls to be dried and scattered wherever needed. The seeds are protected by the clay from drying up, blowing away, or being eaten by bugs or birds. When the rains dissolve the clay, the compost provides a nutrient nest, and the seeds are ready to sprout and grow!


We'll be demonstrating and making seedballs at the beautiful Green City Gallery. If you've been meaning to check out the Gallery, this is a great opportunity to browse and socialize.
