The Seed Project- a global environmental installation where individual artists plant seeds creating art projects worldwide.

Help us get Free Seeds in the hands of THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS at schools and universities across the United States. Check out our fabulous REWARDS below!

We Have a Vision: To create the World’s Largest Environmental Art Installation.

The Seed Project is a Global Environmental Installation where people plant seeds creating individual art projects around the planet.

How does this work? Three Easy Steps:

1. Get Seeds Here
2. Grow Your Project
3. Upload your images at the-seed-project.org

The results form a “Virtual Field” which has already spread to hundreds of artists around the world, universities, schools and institutions.

Now we are launching a new phase of the project to get Free Seeds in the hands of students at schools and universities across the United States.

Help us in reaching our goal and check out our cool rewards! thanks!

Participants in the project include schools throughout New York City Area, including MS 131, PS 124, The Future Leaders Institute and PS 110 as well as and Broward College in Florida. The project is in it's fourth year as part of an innovative curriculum at The New School of Social Research (Parsons School of Design), HEOP program in New York. The Seeds have also sold in Wholefoods throughout the northeast region.

-
Pledge any amount you wish, the more money we can raise the more free and donated seeds we can send to public schools and universities to encourage people to participate in the project. In theory it could revolutionize how we feel about art, activism and ourselves, in practice it needs a little help to grow :) 
