MAIF Social Club (Paris 3rd)
About
What if everyone could make the city bloom in their own way? In this workshop, you will make "seed bombs" using potting soil, clay, and wildflower seeds. Easy to make and fun to handle, these little spheres are designed to be tossed into neglected spaces... where the rain will do the rest.
As you make them, you will discover the basics of germination, the role of soil, and the importance of urban biodiversity. A creative and engaged activity to reconnect with nature and take action, simply.
A 4-hand workshop to share between you and the child you are accompanying. Anyone taking the workshop must book a spot (children and accompanying adults).

This free activity is a perfect way to explore plant germination and urban biodiversity. Please note that every attendee, including children and their accompanying adults, must book a spot in advance for this event running from November 21, 2026, to July 21, 2027.
Join the Green Bombs workshop at the MAIF Social Club to learn how to contribute to the city’s urban greenery. From November 21, 2026, to July 21, 2027, participants will craft sustainable seed bombs made from a mix of clay, soil, and wildflower seeds. These simple spheres are designed to be thrown into neglected areas of the city, where they will naturally take root and grow when it rains.
The workshop serves as a creative introduction to the natural world. As you craft your bombs, you will learn about the germination process, the importance of healthy soil, and how biodiversity functions in a city environment. This collaborative activity is intended for children aged 4 and above to enjoy alongside an adult.
This event is free to attend, but registration is mandatory for every person participating. Whether you are a child or an adult accompanying one, please ensure you book a place in advance to secure your spot in the 3rd arrondissement.
