Good reading. The concept is catching on. :) I've done this in my town on my own. I now have a 'partner in crime'. So far everyone has loved what I/we have done. I mean, what else would there be there except a big muddy clay patch with broken glass. Even marigolds are appreciated in vacant lots. It's easy to "stealth bomb" a vacant patch with marigold seeds. I was thinking of leaving a little sign saying something like "Compliments of Secret Gardener" or something so that nobody thinks there are new weeds coming up, and rips things out. Not that anybody ever bothered to rip the weeds out of the vacant lots before.............. This is a good way to give a new home to all those hosta and irises and daylillies that get too big for your own garden. I've 'fessed up' to some of the plantings I've done and the response has been overwelmingly positive. Then I go back and add more things. This is only done to blighted areas around town. Never touch anything that looks like somebody is using the land for something! I haven't done any of those ugly gravel "parking lots" yet, but I figure if I get around to it I will ask the owners and I expect them to probably say OK. Why would they NOT want their gravelly mud pit, that they park cars on to be rimmed with flowering plants that are not invasive? I've also asked my city hall if it was OK to plant at intersections and got a "Uhmm. Ah. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead". I don't think they really understood the undertaking but they said "yes". I figure as long as I don't plant anything too tall that would block the view of cars it shouldn't matter. |
