Plant Some Goddamn Hope Seed Balls

$26.00

Throw something, grow something.

You can't fix the year. You can't fix the news. You can throw these balls at a patch of dirt and trust the bees to do their part. That's not nothing.

Eighteen seed balls rolled from recycled paper, which sprouts faster than the clay kind, and a wildflower mix the bees and butterflies actually want. For the days you keep showing up when it would be reasonable not to. You toss them where the world needs more flowers, and a month or two later, bees and butterflies show up to the chaos you started.

Functional rage. Productive spite. A small act of stubbornness in the direction of life.

How to use them

Throw. That's it. Bare soil is best, spring or fall is best, but honestly the point is the throwing. Plants have been doing this without you for millions of years.

Gifting

This is the gift for the friend who just got the diagnosis, the divorce papers, the layoff email, the text she wasn't expecting. It says I know, and it gives her something to do with her hands.

Hand-rolled in Cleveland with seeds, paper pulp, and more personal investment than is probably healthy. I sit on the board of a nature center and wildlife rehab. It's where my passion for pollinators grew. These are my way of planting some goddamn hope for them.

Good for:

Your friend who’s been having a year.

The mom who’s been holding it all together.

The person you don’t know how to comfort.

Anyone whose vibe is “I’d like to channel my rage constructively for once.”

Yourself, because yelling into a pillow doesn’t grow anything.
