Guerilla Gardening - 1st May 2011

[bronwen]

Hello,
I first heard of this idea on the horticultural channel show last fortnight and must say I am quite interested in the concept and hope to plant some sunflower seeds around my local area on May 1st. My biggest worry is that they just won't grow!! But the thought of the neighbourhood looking that much brighter in a few months time is a big incentive!

Is anyone else getting involved?

The website for further information/inspiration is

Also, wasn't sure where to put the post so I hope it's in the right place

I have a pocketful of sunflower seeds ready and waiting

Hi Bronwen

I had a look - interesting concept! I like the idea of making seed balls too. Am going to see if I can get anyone in my local area hooked and I'll be looking out for places to do my good work from now on!!

I planted some wallflowers in the mud on our old railway lines round the back ... the council mowed them off

Glad to hear at least two others may be guerilla-ing around their neighbourhoods on sunday! I was keeping an eagle eye out on my walk to the shopping centre today for a likely spot or two!
Let's post on here if anyone does plant some

TwoSheds, your poor wallflowers! I had been thinking about this too... wondered if I could put a little sign up saying... STOP! Sunflowers Planted Here (or something more witty... lol) but then thought that would probably be littering or something.

If not littering, it is technically criminal damage (to plant anything not on your own land)
