Queen Bee Bash
This gathering is a love letter to moms, mother figures, and all the incredible caregivers who pour so much into their families and communities every single day. We see you, we appreciate you, and we want to hold space to celebrate you.
The Queen Bee Bash is about more than a title, it’s about recognition, joy, and rest. It’s about coming together in a space where you can feel supported, uplifted, and surrounded by people who value the work you do, both seen and unseen. From laughter to connection to a little bit of sweetness, this is a moment to just be poured into for once.
At SEEDS, we are proud to cultivate spaces where love grows, where families are supported, and where community takes care of each other like a hive. So come join us here at SEEDS on May 16th 10am-2pm to celebrate mothers.
Enjoy:
Arts and crafts stations
Craft market
Food and drink
Music
Raffle
Bee hive demonstrations by Buddha Bee Apiary
Garden tours
And more!
We are proud to partner with Raleigh Parent for this event.
Soil Chemistry & Mapping: A Kid's Science Workshop (Suggested Ages 8-14)
Get outside and test soil sample for their pH while learning fundamental science concepts in the environment!
Location: SEEDS, 706 Gilbert St, Durham
Our mission is packed into a fast-paced 90-minute investigation, transforming the garden into a living dataset:
Participants will investigate soil as a measurable system, with emphasis on pH and spatial patterning.
Part 1: Soil Properties (25 min)
Identify soil texture (sand, silt, clay) using the ribbon test
Measure soil pH and understand its role in nutrient availability
Part 2: Field Sampling (35 min)
Collect samples from distinct zones: garden beds, compost, shaded areas, and compacted paths
Measure pH and moisture using standard field methods
Part 3: Data Mapping (30 min)
Plot results on a grid to visualize spatial variation
Identify patterns (gradients) in soil chemistry across the site
Use pH as a predictor of plant growth potential
This session focuses on generating and interpreting real environmental data.
location: at SEEDS
