Resistance is fertile

Laneway Garden Action

In a tiny laneway near the corner of Swanston and Bourke streets, smack-bang in the middle of the city some anonymous peoples have created this mini-urban garden. Suspended nasturtium plants growing in recycled cardboard bases adorn and enliven this grimy alley and are an inspirational example of the kind of actions that will see us transform the current mess that we are living in to a sustainable future. May many others take their lead, get creative and find ways to make life beautiful.
 

Guerilla Garden Installation

To my delight, whilst walking home from work through the Melbourne CBD, I discovered this planting installation outside a major shopping centre.  From recycled cardboard and news paper, the mysterious horticultural propagandists fashioned a honeycomb-like structure in which were placed small plants and seedlings for people to take and plant in a bid to inspire the greening of the world. In coke bottles and chip packets were a number of other plants placed with the message "When you're planting, everything looks like a vase". Niice.
Go forth and propagate!!
