Seed Bomb Workshop

This is an archived event. Please see our Events page for our current events.

Date: 13:00-15:00 28 August 2022

Join us at David Livingstone Birthplace for "My Own Scottish Flower Garden" - a new series of workshops facilitated by artist Sophie Minervini.

Free for all participants but places must be booked in advance.

Open to ages 5-14, with accompanying adults.

Workshop 2: Seed Bombs Workshop

In this free workshop, we will explore seed bombs — balls of compost, clay, and flower seeds squeezed together and left to dry in the sun. Each participant can make their own seed bomb to take home and plant in a garden or plant pot. We will share knowledge about native Scottish flowers and explore the future of plat life in Scotland.

Drop-In Event Free
