Regular Heavy Petal readers know that I’m really into seedballs, those muddy little balls of floral love.
The first sowing I did this year was disturbed by construction, so I recently launched a second attack. The teeny results are beginning to show themselves in these photos.
For a more advanced idea of what seedballs can do, I point you toward one of the Vancouver GGG’s (that’s Guerilla Gardening Group’s) seedbomb projects, a median in a busy on-ramp:
There was barely 2″ (5cm) in which to “plant” the seedballs, and yet, what lovely results!
The last two photos are borrowed from Al. You can see more of his GGG photos here.
Nice what GGG are doing. You might want a read of this – the local councils take over in the UK – 1984 Takes On Guerrilla Gardening Granny
Guerilla Gardening rocks! I love seeing how people accomplish this all over the world. Helping nature one seedball at a time. Well done! :-)

Hi ,
Do you have any idea on how to contact Jim Bones by any chance ?
I work as a restoration ecologist for a non-profit in California and would love to contact him to retrieve info from seedballs.com
Thanks a lot.
