Seed Balls are a method inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka (author of One Straw Revolution) for planting without tilling or planting in harsh environments. Bring seeds if you have them and we will make a variety of seed balls with the mixture of seeds on hand. Then we will walk around Inspiration Farm and talk about natural orchards, food forests the Fukuoka method and more.
$5-$20 donation Please RSVP so we know how to prepare
