Sow the Revolution

Drop in four quarters, get a handful of Inland Northwest wildflowers and a piece of protest art.
Every dollar supports SCAR’s work for racial justice in Spokane.

Protest, in seed form

The Flower Thrower is a coin-operated vending machine that dispenses native wildflower seed bombs — one dollar in quarters, one capsule of good trouble. Each capsule holds several hand-rolled seed bombs and a sticker of Banksy’s Flower Thrower, the masked figure hurling a bouquet instead of a brick.

That image is the whole idea. Confrontation and care aren’t opposites. Sometimes the most radical thing you can throw is something that grows.

It’s a fundraiser for Spokane Community Against Racism. It’s also an invitation: take the seeds, find a neglected patch of dirt, and leave the neighborhood better than you found it.

100% Inland Northwest native

No filler, no invasive species, no generic “wildflower mix” grown for somewhere else. Every seed in every bomb is native to our region — mostly blanketflower, a tough, drought-hardy bloom that feeds pollinators and thrives in Spokane’s soil and summers.

Native plants matter here the same way native voices do. They belong, they endure, and they make the whole ecosystem stronger.

What’s in a seed bomb

Every bomb is hand-rolled by volunteers using a simple 5:3:1 mix:

  • 5 parts red clay — the armor. Protects seeds from birds and holds them in place until the rain comes.
  • 3 parts worm castings — the fuel. Rich, natural compost that feeds the seedlings as they sprout.
  • 1 part NW native wildflower seeds — the point.

Now dispensing at Berserk

The Flower Thrower currently lives at Berserk in downtown Spokane. Bring four quarters. The machine will move to new locations around town — follow SCAR to track where it lands next.
