Guerilla gardening!

[madderbat]

I like the idea of growing things on verges, especially country lanes. It pleases me when I see fruiting trees by the lanes for anyone to help themselves.

Here in Wales lots of Daffodils in verges and especially field gates, wonderful at this time of year. This is the sort of "Raving Nationalism " I can put up with!
Is it done elsewhere?

Yes, all around Telford masses of dafs.

I guess you just have to be careful what you're planting...somebody once thought Japanese Knotweed was a good idea..!

I went out of town up the A6 this week and saw that the council had planted blocks of daffs at different spots along the verge. Very nice it looked too. (Don't know if it's to do with Welsh though!!)
We dont get many primroses here, suspect it's to do with hedge destruction in the past. I used to love seeing them in the Cornish lanes as a kid, and the violets.
