Flower Bombs

Jay Weichun (filmmaker/artist) will be onsite from 2-6PM making flower bombs. Using a simple mixture of regional wildflower seeds, soil and clay, flower bombs are a fun way to spread color and life to places of neglect. Participants are invited to make their own flower bombs and form their own flower bombing collectives!

Flower Bombs or Seed balls are a mixture of Clay (5 parts) Soil/Compost (3 parts) and Native/Regional wildflower seeds (1 part) They are rolled into balls and once dry, they can be planted into places in need of restoration and renewal. There will be a series of workshops where we will come together, make seed balls and discuss tactics for planting and creating a greener Staten Island! All the workshops are free of charge and materials will be provided. Attendees are welcome to bring their own red clay, compost or *native/regional wildflower seeds. People are also encouraged to hold their own workshops and seed ball collectives!
