Get Your Hands Dirty at The Putting Lot!

Join us between this Sun­day 3pm and 6pm for a seed bomb mak­ing work­shop.  It’s time to restock the seed bomb exchange machine designed and fab­ri­cated by Inter­face Stu­dio, the design­ers of Hole #9, The Liv­ing Lot. The seed bombs given out at The Putting Lot allow our vis­i­tors to bring the ideas of sus­tain­abil­ity back to their own neigh­bor­hoods. The seed bombs are a mix­ture of clay, fer­til­izer, and native New York wild­flower seeds. When thrown into other vacant lots or empty spaces, these small balls dis­in­te­grate in the rain and bloom into wild flow­ers.  Seed bombs have been an impor­tant tac­tic of neigh­bor­hood beau­ti­fi­ca­tion since they were devel­oped dur­ing the of the guer­rilla gar­den­ing move­ment in the 1970s.

Stop by any­time, help make some seed bombs, learn more about urban envi­ron­men­tal­ism and enjoy a dis­counted round of golf! (Adults, $3 and Chil­dren, $1 for seed bomb mak­ers).  See you there!

Welcome to The Putting Lot: Bringing miniature golf to Bushwick, Brooklyn for the summer of 2009!

The Putting Lot explores the possibilities of vacant lots in the city with an emphasis on community spaces. Our aim is to inspire the imaginations of our visitors and provoke a conversation about neighborhood sustainability.

We invite you to play the nine holes, each designed by a different team of artists or architects, enjoy local Brooklyn-based bites at the snack-shack, participate a variety of activities and events, or just stop by and hang out in the shade.
