Seed Ball Stewardship Grant: Growing Conservation Together
Our Seed Ball Stewardship Grant Program empowers participants to take direct action for pollinator health. This hands-on program provides the tools necessary to create "seed balls", a fun and effective way to plant forage and restore local habitats.
What's Included:
Comprehensive Seed Ball Kits: Recipients receive all essential materials, including soil, clay, and high-quality, pollinator wildflower seeds provided in partnership with Renee’s Garden.
Educational Support: Grantees gain exclusive access to Planet Bee’s Environmental STEM Programs. This includes live virtual lessons led by our educators and NGSS-aligned curricula designed to turn students into environmental stewards.
Community Science: Participants are asked to share their progress and photos, contributing to a larger movement of pollinator conservation and awareness.
New for 2026: Partnering with Renee’s Garden
We are thrilled to announce that 2026 grant recipients will receive a revamped seed ball kit, made possible in large thanks to our partnership with Renee's Garden. Renee's Garden is a seed company dedicated to biodiversity and environmentally responsible gardening. Together, we ensure that every 2026 kit contains high-quality, nectar-rich seeds that provide a sanctuary for local pollinators.
"Every time you choose a nectar-rich heirloom variety over a sterile modern hybrid, you are casting a vote for biodiversity. You are ensuring that the bees and butterflies that have visited our gardens for generations will have a place in the future." — Renee Shepherd
