Seed Ball Workshop
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.
During Amma's birthday celebration a couple of years ago (Amritavarsham 69), Amma talked about seed balls, saying that she knew that many who were there wanted to give Amma something on their own birthdays. Amma then 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 this Saturday for this fun and interactive workshop. The seed balls created this Saturday will be dispersed on Earth Day from 1:30 to 3 pm.
