International Sunflower Guerrilla Gardening Day 2021
 |
My comparatively meager attempts were always fraught with failure.
Sometimes people like to engage in neighborhood beautification projects of their own design.
These individuals have become known as Guerrilla Gardeners and I suppose there are far worse ways to engage in unauhorized behaviors.
Today is the International Sunflower Guerrilla Gardening Day.
It happens each May first and is an annual international event when guerrilla gardeners plant sunflowers in their neighborhoods in those public places they feel may be neglected.
It has been going on since 2007 and was the idea of guerrilla gardeners in Brussels.
It has been championed by other such guerrilla gardeners around the world with growth in participation each year.
The temperate requirements of the sunflower has not dissuaded the planting of other flowers and such which tolerate places with more of a temperature shift this time of year.
