Who knew Seed Bombs could become such an art form? For those new to the trend, a seed bombs are bringing out your inner Johnny Appleseed by letting you wander through the world tossing little clay ball mixtures into abandoned, neglected, sparse land/dirt piles/etc… and just add water (or when it finally rains) ~ POOF ~ your seed bomb will explode with beautiful greenery… And if you’re smart and responsible about it, your seed bombs will be filled with seeds of indigenous plants that the area needs more of anyhow! OR, you could be running around playing mother nature mixing and matching to see what might grow where…

Commonstudio has started Greenaid ~ “The Greenaid dispensary makes these guerilla gardening efforts more accessible to all by appropriating the existing distribution system of the quarter operated candy machine. Machines can be strategically placed at various sites across any urban region and filled with micro-seedbombs specially formulated for a specific locale or context.”
