This week, Year 4 took part in RHS’s Big Seed Sow by making seed bombs to place in our Pollen & Nectar Cafe. 

In order to create healthy ecosystems, and encourage biodiversity, it is essential we look after our pollinators. Therefore, we carefully chose seeds that will entice them to visit our cafe. In four to six weeks, we should see a blast of blooms and pollinators picnicking peacefully in this area!       

If you want to make your own seed bombs, please follow the instructions below.

You will need:

5 cups peat free compost

3 cups flour

1 cup wildflower seeds 

Water

Add flour, compost and seeds to a bowl, and mix together.

Add some water and mix together until you have a dough like mixture.

Roll the mixture into ball shapes.

Leave to dry (24 – 48hrs).

Once dry, place them in your garden and wait for Mother Nature to help them explode!
