Then, roll up your sleeves and make your own seed bombs to take home, ideal for gifting or guerrilla gardening.
This is a family-friendly event. Children can attend for free with a child ticket, but must be accompanied and supervised at all times by a fee-paying adult with a valid ticket.
You’ll discover:

· How to make eco-friendly seed bombs using natural materials
All materials are provided, and you’ll take home a selection of your own seed and seed bombs!
