Community seed bombs

I ran a street workshop making pollinator seed balls from simple challenge cards.

Community seed bombs

In a Gracia plaza in Barcelona, we tested a simple idea: could small, hands-on actions add up to real care for nature? People took a challenge card with step-by-step instructions and all the materials - soil, seeds, coconut coir - to make a pollinator seed ball on the spot.

Facilitators guided anyone who wanted help, and once finished, participants shared their seed bomb, took it home to plant, and passed the card on to someone else.

The making proved easy and engaging, especially for families and children, and many people already had a foot in local gardens and eco-initiatives. The open question I am still sitting with is how to turn one-time participation into a lasting community movement.
