Seed Bombs Away!
2025-08-22 17:30 - 19:00 | Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough Township, NJ, 08844, United States
Grow native flowers, support pollinators, and practice your fastball—all at the same time.

Using organic materials and seeds collected from Duke Farms’ restored meadows, let’s whip up a batch of native wildflower seed bombs! Take some home, but feel free to leave a few behind in our meadows too. For extra launch power, we’ll also incorporate some secret technology. While we work, we’ll talk about the defiant origins of this practice, the vast community of pollinators that rely on these plants, and how they can all flourish with a little bit of help.

You can join her on her monthly bird walks through her new LLC Beachy Birder Adventures, and her favorite bird is the one she’s looking at.
