<\/p>\n 1. Why were you inspired to create the wildlflower seed bombs<\/a>?<\/p>\n We live in an inner-city neighborhood in Cincinnati that has a fair number of vacant lots. We had read about the guerrilla gardening practice of making seed bombs<\/a> and throwing them onto abandoned property as a simple act of community beautification. After some experimentation, we decided to package our seed bombs<\/a> into pouches resembling miniature seed sacks to enable others to partake in this DIY activism.<\/em><\/p>\n 2. How do you pick which seeds to include in each wildlflower seed bomb<\/a>?<\/p>\n Each regional variety contains a varied mixture of seeds that grow well with little or no special care in each area, and which are suited to a variety of growing conditions, including sun, shade, and drought.<\/em><\/p>\n That way, even in a challenging environment, at least some of the plants are sure to grow and thrive. These plants do well in areas that may be difficult to conventionally sow.<\/p>\n 3. What advice do you have for people looking to do their own guerrilla gardening?

\nGuerrilla gardening isn’t about pruned hedges or perfectly mowed lawns! It’s about rolling up your sleeves and positively impacting the environment around you in a small but effective way. Seed bombs<\/a> can be used in your own garden, or as part of a neighborhood-wide beautification effort. They’re perfect for those of us who don’t have green thumbs but want to get involved in gardening.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/victoria2-548x365.jpg\" "\\"victoria2\\"")
