If you have been putting off the idea of growing your own plants, this season offers a practical place to begin. With longer days and consistent sunlight, even the smallest home spaces can support a garden. At the Make Your Own Seed Ball workshop led by naturalist and early childhood educator Priyal Soni, organised by Naturalist Explorers, the focus is on a simple, effective method of planting. Participants are guided through the process of creating seed balls — compact mixtures of soil, nutrients, and seeds designed to support and protect germination.
