Gorilla Gardening: Louisville

15 years ago

Hello,

I am very interested in finding others in Louisville who would like to begin working on beautifying our neighborhoods within Louisville proper. Some of my goals include:

1) Removing as many exotic weed trees as possible, mulberry and tree of heaven (ailanthus) mainly.

2) Planting out a large number of sturdy native trees (oaks, for example), especially along streets whose trees have passed on.

3) Planting out self-sustaining flower/bulb beds in areas with frequent pedestrian traffic.

4) Utilizing city-owned vacant lots that are doing nothing but attracting illegal dumping--turning them into low-maintenance vegetable growing space.

5) Developing frequently-used bus stops so that there are seating areas for our elderly neighbors, as well as shade from trees or tall grasses.

This can be done, and I hope you'd like to take part!
