Seeding Hope: A Community’s Eco-Adventure

Ryan Hall

In celebration of Canadian Environment Week, our environmental stewards at Ryan Hall, N.S., joined together for a seed bomb event, which involved preparing and planting these eco-balls. Seed bombs are ingenious little balls of shredded newspaper, construction paper, and wildflower seeds. They help revolutionize gardening and support the earth in a fun and creative way. Made by mixing seeds with paper pulp, these bombs offer protection from birds and wind while providing essential nutrients to the soil.

Once planted, they break down naturally, allowing the seeds to germinate into beautiful flowers that not only add colour to our surroundings but also nourish local bees. Excited to share their eco-friendly initiative, the residents planned to distribute their creations to neighboring Shannex sites, Orchard Court and Blomidon Court. Our communities are supported by residents who are environmental stewards, nurturing a deep connection with the land and a commitment to preserving it for future generations.
