Made by hand in Boise, Idaho

Toss a little wild into the world.

Hand-rolled clay seed balls, packed with wildflowers that actually belong out West. Toss one on a bare patch of ground — 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 — the Green Guerillas — 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 — 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 good idea worth keeping alive out here.

Only native, always

Wildflowers that actually grow wild out here — nothing that crowds out what was here first.

Small batch, real hands

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

Made to give away

Simple and honest — a gift, a wedding favor, or just because.

The Seed Balls

What's actually inside.

About 72 seeds in each clay ball, plus a bit of compost to help things along. Only wildflowers native to the Intermountain West — 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 — what belongs in the Boise foothills isn't quite what belongs in the Tetons.

Treasure Valley & Foothills

Boise, Zone 6b–7a

Our home mix — sagebrush-steppe natives built for dry summers and cold snaps.

A Local Partnership

Teton Valley

Victor / Driggs, Zone 4b–5a

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

Two Seasons

We only sell what's actually ready to grow.

Fall Throw · September–November

Let winter do its thing

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

Spring Throw · March–May

Quick color, right on time

Built for first-year color — good timing for Earth Day and spring cleanups.

Post-fire foothills need help

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

Pollinators follow the flowers

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

Any bare patch counts

Trailheads, backyards, roadside strips — a little wild goes a long way.

One rule: only toss on ground that's yours, or that you've got permission to plant on.

Our first Fall Throw ships in September.

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