Flowers for Bed Stuy

bed-stuy-lot-0309.jpgThanks to Bed Stuy Blog for flagging this: There’s a great initiative underway to blanket neglected portions of Bedford Stuyvesant in wildflowers. A group called 21st Century Plowshare is preparing a guerilla campaign to heave seed bombs into empty lots, abandoned buildings sites and whatnot. We’re so into the idea, we just donated $100. They only need $2,000 and are accepting gifts of as little as $10; they also need volunteers for seed-bombing missions, so check out the website here.
