Plant Pono: Learn to Make Seedballs

July 16, 2025 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Multiple people using their hands to make seed balls with dirt wearing neon gloves

Join us for a fun, hands on activity for ages 4 to adult!  Learn about native plants and how they help our environment while making seed balls using local native seeds, clay, and soil.  We provide gloves, so you can get your hands dirty. Making seed balls to be taken home to plant or share will help to grow a healthier, more resilient ecosystem.  No experience needed.  This  program is free and all materials will be provided.  This event is great for families, friends , and nature lovers of all kinds.  Presented by the Big Island Invasive Species Committee and the Division of Forestry and Wildlife.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required.
All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
