Our annual #LifecyclesProject #CommunitySharing Day is right around the corner on September 27th 🍏🍎🍐🍇

It will be hosted once again at #WellandCommunityOrchard from 11-3pm.
You're welcome to bike, or to try your luck at getting one of the parking spots. If you do not have mobility concerns or require transport of things such as strollers & walkers, consider avoiding trying to park right at the orchard. There's some street parking near the orchard as well, we just ask that you be concious of the neighbours. This year we will have a free shuttle bus from our warehouse at 808A Viewfield Rd out to Welland Orchard to alleviate the limited parking. It will make the following trips:

Leaves Lifecycles office:
-11am
-12pm
-1pm
-2pm

Leaves Welland
-11:30am
-12:30pm
-1:30pm
-3pm

Come out for a family friendly day of celebrating the harvest! We'll be giving away plenty of fruit, pressing fresh apple cider, our heritage apple tasting table will be back & we will have a #seedbomb making table as well as a #ScavengerHunt for the kids.

I hope to see you there!
Please bring a small bag if you'd like to take home some free fruits that we'll be giving to folks who want some 😊

#seedbombing I did this with a bag of regional wildflower seeds during a late winter rainstorm. (I'm from somewhere very arid originally)

What does a #SolarPunk & #Lunarpunk reality look, feel, taste, smell and hear like? Well here's some tips for incorporating more of it into your life:

🐝Joining your local #CommunityGarden #FoodForest #Permaculture Project. It's incredibly nourishing to grow fresh fruits, herbs and veggies while saying hello and getting to know the folks who live around you. You may even make new friends 😉

🌱setting up simple #hydroponic gardens with a UV lamp connected to a solar panel or other electrical source is easy, cost effective a fun way to foster fresh herbs, fruits & veggies from your immediate home surroundings. Good for dimmer kitchens, balconies and backyards and helps in the winter months with seasonal depression.

👗Try to buy #SecondHand before buying new. There's an abundance of clothing, furniture, electronics etc. in our world, all made with human time and creativity just going to the trash 🗑️. So check apps like Vinted, eBay, #BuyNothingGroups , Craigslist or visit your local flea market, clothing swaps or 2nd hand shop to find these pre-loved items. The fun is in the hunt. And if you can find it, make it! Or learn from a skilled craftsperson to show you how to recycle ♻️ and repair your old items. Puts the DIY in SolarPunk.

🌿 #GuerillaGarden those forgotten small plots of earth around city trees and between intersections, that would love a wild flower 🌹 or two. Dropping a #SeedBomb or spreading some seeds of local plants helps the local ecosystem reach places beyond it's wildest dreams and attracts bees 🐝 butterflies 🦋 and other insects. Consider creating an insect hotel and adding that too!

If you need a lil jump start or steady guidance, I'm happy to offer consultations for a sliding scale. This helps cover my time and resources to gather all things you need to make your #Solarpunk ambitions a reality 🌿

Who has some great #SeedBomb instructions?

@redstateinsurgents

#Resilience is an act of #Resistance

Do more than #Resist. Persist

If you're seed bombing with non-native plants, please be mindful of not spreading invasives. Saying fuck you to a golf course by planting things that also kill or crowd out native species is literally no different than the course itself.

"But it's edible" "But it's medicinal" "doesn't matter, its #permaculture bro"

Those are settler arguments of pragmatism, and are frankly the same shit that got us Here™️ in the first place. Please, slow the fuck down, research natives, especially ones that grow not just in your "zone" but also the specifics of the area you're doing said seed bombing. Ones that NATIVE pollinators eat, live on, etc. Check back in on your shit. Otherwise, it just ends up being performative, or a cool story, or even harmful if invasives are involved. The time, slowness, and intention will make it all the more powerful.

There are a lot of folks doing this work. These are Indigenous understandings that unfortunately have been largely lost or watered down due to genocide, and therefore, are difficult to find clear information on.

Here's a resource list from an NPO (ugh, yes i know) that is a decent starting point, especially if you're just looking for quick seedbomb ideas on so-called "North America" or Turtle Island: https://xerces.org/pollinator-resource-center

If you want to go deeper, you can see which invertibrates are at-risk in your area, figure out what they like to eat, lay eggs, live on, and plant some of that.

Good Idea: Make seed bombs

https://www.epicgardening.com/how-to-make-seed-bombs/

Its a perfect sunday activity for the spring start: First go on a walk to find some clay/adobe and then turn your balcony into a seed bomb factory 🌱💣🏭
1. Mix five parts clay with one part earth and seeds
2. Add water
3. Roll into balls
(larger balls are a more robust foundation for the seedlings)
4. Let dry for 24-48 hours.

Also a great easter present!
Just throw and wait for the rain...

The wapato spilled a huge pile of seeds beside my pond. I didn't know it did that! I'm going to share them with the creek behind my house. #nativePlant #seedBomb #pacificNorthwest #pnw #kalapuya

It's a good night to go & #seedbomb some colonial government gardens with native plant seeds. It's supposed to rain almost all day tomorrow so the seedbombs will be watered well 👍

@Hunterrules0_o then you obviously want to purposefully misinterpret my words, because #facism doesn't require a #dictatorship - see #Poland under #PiS and #Hungary under #Orban...

They ain't a dictatorship in the sense of Russia or the "P.R." China where dissidents get forcibly disappeared or suffer "tragic accidents" for not licking the rulers boots so hard it reflects the grin of the wearer...

Also there's a fine line between bullshit law and facist law in that a bullshit law is absurd but at least has some in theory merits, whereas facist law solely exists to generate #VictimlessCrimes and revenue for the #PrisonIndustrialComplex by pushing people into unbearable fines and jailing them for legalized #SlaveLabour...

Unless in both cases the perpertrator is a rich white heterocisbinary #wanker...

Going back to the original post people in any reasonable juristiction would collectively refuse to follow such facist ordinances and literally #seedbomb public spaces so hard with "illicit crops" that the rules have to be scrapped entirely...

@Cheatha @RaumZeitLabor wo darf man generell #seedbomb s werfen?

There’s a spot in a local park that I’ve been eying for a while. Going to #SeedBomb when I take my walk later with some good pollinator friendly goodies and #OhioNatives

Whistles innocently... #SeedBomb #GuerillaGardening 🌸💣🌼

It seems to me that you like the button, so here is the graphic if you want to make one. I have to say that the bomb and everything were already there and I just added the anarchy sign.
#seedbomb #anarchy #solarpunk

This button is on point! Can't change my mind 🌱💚
