GUERILLA GARDENING

A few weeks ago, whilst wandering on the internet, we came across this image and a short piece of text about guerilla gardening. The idea is that some areas of unused or common ground can be used as a space for vegetation - edible or otherwise. Not only is this good for the environment but makes the surroundings look gorgeous too.

Yesterday in London at the Pulse design show we came across a stand by a company called kabloom. They have begun to market a product called a seedbom which is basically a grenade packed with different seeds that you place in water before hurling (gently and only with the very best of intentions) onto a patch of ground in need of a little tender loving care.

This sounds like a great idea to us. You can read more about it and buy them online here.
