We're new to guerilla gardening. Living in an apartment it hadn't occurred to us to get out into the wastelands.Unwanted sad plants started to turn up. I came across an overgrown plot close to were I live and started planting. In just 9 months an alley way filled with rubbish is now a healthy scented garden. The garden no, longer secret, has attracted people who enjoy the concept, illicit beautification. My new project is a large Magnolia tree, in the same area, dying of thirst. Progress great so far, tree has new growth.

Yes the shot was taken at dusk..and not my best side. I've had my hair cut since then.
Gardens looking a little more wintery, still attracting a lot of attention, my apartment neighbors drop plants, take an interest, Grin and a certain amount of pride.The Magnolia has lots of new growth which I hope will impress the owner who has given it 5 months before a decision is made on its future..

What are you up to then?

What am I up to?Huh Well where to begin:- I've been gathering all my nearly out of date seeds and gathering seed pods off all the old dears that I visit and mixing them into a huge pile. This weekend I will collect red clay and start mixing up a whole lot of seed balls. I need to scatter them over the huge scar on the property that the Powerco guys created when they used the bulldozer to re new the power poles. Hopefully with a little rain they may grow. Sent you an email!! Talk to you soon. L

I dont suppose you have any spare seed bombs you could live without.
Someone called Eva left a message on a post near our rejuvenating Magnolia tree offering us free mulch.
Very generous I thought, I'l take her up on that. Good luck with your bald patches. ::
