Earth Seed Bombs and Garden Collages Workshop
July 31, 2025
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
$20
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Learn the art of neighborhood sustainability and imagination! In this brand-new offering of kids’ programming in the EE Makerspace, we are collaborating with Guest Artist Gemma Cooper to create native flower seed bombs and garden collages. Children will learn about local flowers and plants in the Santa Barbara area and use recycled paper to create seed bombs to share in their neighborhood.
In a reflection project, kids will create collages out of reclaimed materials that explore what their dream garden looks like.
All materials are provided and children will leave with several seed bombs and a collage they have made. This workshop is open to ages 5 and up.

Stephanie began her journey as an educator over twenty years ago working as a preschool teacher in Washington state for a cooperative preschool program affiliated with Whatcom Community College. She loved observing the wonder and curiosity of the children and bringing them out into nature to explore the natural world. She continued her love for learning and got her teaching license and then her Montessori certification and worked as an elementary teacher in Tribal, Public, and Montessori schools. She collaborated to create a school garden and her students loved it so much that it became a special place where they could garden, read, explore, play, and it provided a safe sanctuary for students to calm down and reset when they were having difficult moments.
Morgan’s mermaid soul is always seeking adventure—swimming a relay across the Santa Barbara Channel and taking the first photo of a newborn orca off Anacapa Island being standout experiences close to home.
