WSJ on Organic Lawns

The Wall Street Journal discovers organic gardening...

From Vandalism to Fandalism

Students at Köln International School of Design have been exploring the issues surrounding public space in their "From Vandalism to Fandalism" exhibition. Blog Roger Live reports on their recent Guerrilla Gardening activities (left) at RheinDesign as well their other projects including the Public Pillow (for converting non-seat friendly places) and less serious Cleaning Skateboard.

Thanks Marco!

Bloomin' Business Card

I love this design for a business card that grows from Jamie Wieck.

Seeds of Change in LA Times

The LA Times published a nice mention last week of the Swords Into Plowshares seed guns that I helped create:

Seeds of change

Give this piece a chance. Plant a 9-millimeter gun or seed bomb from artists Christopher Humes and Noah Scalin, and you'll soon see blooming Shasta daisy, European columbine, foxglove, purple coneflower, spurred snapdragon, lupine or black-eyed Susan. Created as part of the traveling anti-violence exhibition "Swords Into Plowshares, Plant the Piece"...

The full article is online here (but requires registration to read). The guns are currently on sale at the Santa Monica Museum of Art.

Seed Bombs in ReadyMade

The current (May/June) issue of ReadyMade magazine includes a nice mention of Seed Bombs!, one of the flower growing, guerrilla gardening products that are part of the Swords Into Plowshares art project, which I created with Christopher Humes. Learn more about the art and get your own Seed Bombs! at PlantThePiece.org.
