πŸ”οΈ Made by hand in Boise, Idaho

Toss a little wild into the world.

Sweet little clay seed balls, packed with wildflowers that actually belong out West. Toss one on a bare, sad patch of ground β€” sun and rain do the rest.

Our Story

An old idea, kept alive out West.

Back in 1973, a New York gardener named Liz Christy and her friends β€” the Green Guerillas β€” started tossing wildflower seed over fences into vacant lots. They called them "seed green-aids." One lot they cleared by hand at Bowery & Houston is still a garden today. The idea itself goes back further β€” a Japanese practice called tsuchi dango, seed wrapped in clay and dropped where it's needed. We didn't invent any of this. We just think it's a lovely old idea worth keeping alive out here.

🌻

Only native, always

Wildflowers that actually grow wild out here β€” nothing that crowds out what was here first.

Small batch, real hands

Rolled by hand in Boise. Not a factory β€” just us, some clay, and a lot of seeds.

πŸ’Œ

Made to give away

Small, cute, and they make people smile. A gift, a favor, or just because.

The Seed Balls

What's actually inside.

About 72 seeds in each little clay ball, plus a bit of compost to help things along. Only wildflowers native to the Intermountain West β€” the ones bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds already know.

Pick Your Area

Every corner of the West grows a little differently.

We build a different mix for each area we sell into β€” what belongs in the Boise foothills isn't quite what belongs in the Tetons.

🏜️ Treasure Valley & Foothills

Boise, Zone 6b–7a

Our home mix β€” sagebrush-steppe natives built for dry summers and cold snaps.

With Red House Flowers

πŸ”οΈ Teton Valley

Victor / Driggs, Zone 4b–5a

Built with our friends at a working flower farm under the Tetons. Coming soon.

🏞️ More Coming

Tell us where β€” that's exactly how the Teton mix started.

Two Little Seasons

We only sell what's actually ready to grow.

πŸ‚ Fall Throw Β· Sep–Nov

Let winter do its thing

Snow and cold are part of the plan β€” that's how western wildflowers wake up strong in spring.

🌷 Spring Throw Β· Mar–May

Quick color, right on time

Built for first-year color β€” perfect for Earth Day and spring cleanups.

πŸ”₯

Post-fire foothills need help

Burned slopes lose native ground cover fast β€” cheatgrass moves in before anything native gets the chance.

🐝

Pollinators follow the flowers

Native wildflowers mean bees, butterflies, and birds actually show up.

πŸ₯Ύ

Any bare patch counts

Trailheads, backyards, roadside strips β€” a little wild goes a long way.

🀝One easy rule: only toss on ground that's yours, or that you've got the okay to plant on.

Our first Fall Throw ships in September 🍁

Hop on the list and we'll let you know the second it's ready.

Two emails a year, once per season. Promise. 🀞
