Time to Plan for Earth Day

BREAD tries to celebrate Earth Day each year with a massive Spring Fling. The missiles consist of the guerrilla gardener's secret weapon: seed bombs.  Needed are but wildflower seeds, potter's clay, a willingness to trash your work-space, and the patience to make hundreds.

Here are the Harvey kids, staging for the 2012 Fling. Although Harvey contains many empty lots and fields, we selected the area behind their elementary school. The view from the playground: the Calumet Union Drainage Ditch, filled with industry waste, and abandoned and collapsed houses. Some natural beauty seemed a welcome and necessary addition.
