XR Native Plant Seed Bomb Making at the HONK! Festival

Join Extinction Rebellion Boston at the HONK! Festival where we will be making native plant seed bombs.

Seed bombs are a wonderful way to support and spread native plants and learn about their role in supporting a healthy ecosystem. Seed bombs are tiny balls, about the size of almond m&m’s, made of soil/compost, clay, and seeds. The clay and dirt protect seeds from erosion and hungry animals until the weather is just right. When the spring rains come, the seeds will use their soil homes to grow roots and sprout. When they break open the balls, the roots grow towards the soil floor, their new home.

This activity is great for all ages. Stop by with your family to make some seed bombs and chat with us or volunteer some time at our table.

We will be located on the corner of Elm St and Grove St in Davis Square, Somerville. Set up will start at noon. Our table will be open to the public from 1pm to 5pm with the take down from 5 to 6.
