No Comments Q: “What is a seed bomb?”
A: “A seed bomb is an anonymous vigilante act of organic kindness or an act of random gardening graffiti, depending on your point of view.”
It’s like volunteer guerrilla gardening for those hard to reach public spaces.

Say goodbye to urban wastelands.
I attended an interesting workshop last night on ornamental grasses.
My appreciation for grasses has been expanded 10 fold.
I have a no maintenance yard. I let it grow wild because its the desert. Why waste water trying to make it something its not.
There are people at the workshop who dream of doing such a thing.
They call it a Prairie Garden.
True, their dream of a Prarie Garden has more intention and human intervention than my yard does but still…
So I can now hold my head high and say my yard is a Prairie Garden and I know the name of one of the grasses that grows wild in my yard.
The rest of the world is catching up to my intuition, yeah.
