Invasive Plant Program Day
April 18
9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Join us for a hands-on workshop where we’ll create seed balls to help restore the landscape! Seed balls are small mixtures of native seeds, clay, and soil that can be scattered across the ground to encourage plant growth in disturbed or bare areas. The clay protects the seeds from being eaten by animals, while the soil provides nutrients to help them get started when the conditions are right.
During this workshop, we’ll focus on making seed balls filled with native Sonoran Desert plants—species that are well adapted to our environment and play an important role in supporting local wildlife. By introducing these native plants, we can help improve habitat for pollinators and other animals while working to outcompete invasive species like stinknet.
Participants will learn about the importance of native plants, the challenges posed by invasive species.
