Seed bombs for wildlife

Welcome to our honesty system seed bombs sale :)

Firstly, thank you so much for being here! The kids from the Gardening Club at Newlands Primary School and I are thrilled that you like our project.

These cute seed bombs made with paper pulp, bentonite clay and native seeds donated by the wonderful team of BAAG, are allowing us to raise funds that will go to create a wildlife garden at the school this coming National Tree Day - 26th July 2024.

We are doing this project because we believe that the impact of exposing children to nature has the most wonderful effects on their development. Planting a tree, designing a garden, or growing some natives from seed bombs, these are all wonderful experiences that will have lifelong impacts on our little ones.

So grab a jar of your favourite natives, chip in your contribution towards our fantastic cause, and have fun planting!

If you need any help, scroll below for some "how to sow" tips:

- GREEN KANGAROO PAW:

Sow from beginning of Spring to the end of Autumn.

Keep the soil moist and the seeds should germinate in 6 weeks.

- BILLY BUTTON:
