Mike Heep, Valley’s native plant nursery owner, will sell plants from 9 to noon on Saturday with a presentation at 11 am. It is a great opportunity to ask questions about what to grow in your garden!
Kids and adults alike can make Seed Bombs to take-home and toss anywhere you’d like to cover with flowers. Seed Bombs are balls made out of clay, compost and seeds. Apparently, Seed Bombs were first used in the 70’s to “bomb” large vacant lots in New York City with flowers—they called it guerilla gardening-awesome!
