Bombs away!

There are a lot of lots in Bridgeport that can only benefit from some added color and vegetation. The cheap and easy solution?



Seed bombs.

It's not only cheap and easy, it's fun. You can have seed bomb workshops with kids, neighbors, friends, and family. The below links will provide with you with a couple different recipes that can help you on your way.

Ideally, you'll have to throw these bombs down after the last frost, which in Bridgeport, CT, is projected to happen at the end of April. Also, use flower species native to New England - you can often find wildflower mixes in local garden stores.

The big day for the Public Allies Bridgeport team and their partners is April 30th. We will be cleaning up 24 targeted neighborhoods and installing gardens and unveiling murals. You can do your part by having a seed bomb workshop in your neighborhood, or making seed bombs beforehand and then spreading them on April 30th. If you're taking it up, please let us know! We'd love to see pictures, also! You can e-mail us bridgeportpact@gmail.com. Happy seeding!
