Seed Bombs

Location of Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia

Where

Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.
Boat Ramp off of Mitchell Valley Road

When

Aug. 21, 2024. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Our local wildflowers are incredibly important to biodiversity in this region. About 80% of all plants have co-evolved in an area with animal pollinators doing the job of spreading them out. Join us to give nature a helping hand and have fun at the same time. We'll create seed 'bombs' and then use slingshots to launch them into some of our wildflower fields to help the right kind of plants grow.
