Eco Club students have been making wildflower seed bombs to boost the biodiversity on the academy grounds.
Wildflower seed bombs offer several benefits and promote pollinator habitats by providing a variety of nectar-rich flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Additionally, they help restore native plant populations, conserve biodiversity, and enhance the visual appeal of urban and neglected areas.
Overall, wildflower seed bombs offer an innovative and eco-friendly approach to supporting the growth of wildflowers, promoting biodiversity, and beautifying landscapes.
Creating your seed bomb:
- In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of seeds with 5 cups of compost and 2-3 cups of clay powder (you could use clay soil instead if you have it).
- Slowly mix in water with your hands until everything sticks together.
- Roll the mixture into firm balls.
- Leave the balls to dry in a sunny spot.
