*Update: The Seeds n Sip has been postponed, we'll keep you posted on the new date as soon as it’s available.*

Are you looking for a fun and creative way to promote biodiversity and add some colour to your community space or garden? If so, you should consider attending the Seeds n Sip workshop at the Open Studio Libre in Haileybury, Ontario.

Taking place on Friday, April 28th, the Seeds n Sip workshop is an opportunity to learn how to make wildflower seed bombs, which can be thrown or planted in an area to grow into a beautiful array of flowers. All the supplies and materials you need will be provided, and you will be guided through the process step-by-step.

Not only is making seed bombs a fun and engaging activity, but it is also an important way to support pollinators and create a more sustainable environment. Wildflowers provide an essential food source for pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, and planting them can help to promote their populations.

The workshop is a great way to get involved in your community and meet other like-minded individuals who share your passion for gardening and biodiversity. And what's better than sipping on a drink while you learn how to make something new?

The cost of the workshop is $40, and it runs from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Spaces are limited, so be sure to sign up soon by following this link: https://tinyurl.com/SeedsNSip

Seed bombs date back to ancient times, but it was Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukuoka who popularized the compact "green grenade" in the 1970s. Urban gardeners in New York City used these seed bombs to create pockets of beauty in large vacant lots where traditional planting was illegal or impossible, sparking the guerrilla gardening trend. Today, this eco-friendly tactic is still used to create habitats for pollinators and add colour to overlooked spaces.

Attending the Seeds n Sip workshop is not only a fun activity, but it's also an opportunity to make a positive impact on your environment. By learning how to make seed bombs, you can create a beautiful wildflower garden that supports local pollinators and adds beauty to your community. So why not join the Seeds n Sip workshop and get started on your own wildflower garden today?
