Earth Day Seed Ball Workshop
Seed Ball-Making Workshop
Apr 22, 2023 2:30pm-4:00pm (ended)
Ready to register? Register by emailing: beth3adler@gmail.com by Wednesday April 19, 2023
Among the many ways we can help Nature, making and dispersing seed balls is an efficient, cost-effective, and fun way to help restore Mother Earth.
Last year, during Amma's birthday celebration (Amritavarsham 69), Amma mentioned seed balls, remarking that she knew that many present wanted to give Amma something on their own birthdays. Amma said, “Take a seed and put it in some soil with some manure and wrap it up in a piece of paper. Drop those seed balls in a place where they can sprout—either around your house or in some wooded area. The more saplings you can plant, the better. This would be the greatest gift you can give Amma."
Join us on Earth Day for this fun and interactive workshop, which will cover everthng you need to know to make seed balls.

If the branches are redirected and the river is redirected to flow only through the main stream, the force of the current will increase greatly.
