I received a phone call from Nadia Campbell...I missed her when she stopped by this morning. She had dropped of some apples and a jar of 'crunchy' apple sauce (as pictured above). She has a crab apple tree and has been making apple pies, apple sauce and what she calls crunchy apple sauce (Which is pictured in the jar above and below...to make it 'crunchy' she leaves the apples a bit less cooked therefore they have more crunch...wonderful).
She said she like the Boulevarden and wanted to share some of her yard bounty with us...so lovely.
I just talked to Lisa, the producer of CBC's Wildrose Forum (1010 am or 100.1 fm), and I will be on speaking about the Boulevarden on Monday, August 13 at 12:45. Holly is the host...and they told me they are going to 'sex up the overtness of guerrilla gardening...build it up'...so be prepared. They are really interested in this project and guerrilla gardening in general. http://www.cbc.ca/wildroseforum/index.html
Many of you have emailed expressing your interest in future guerrilla gardening projects...if you would like to be involved send me your email address and we will set a meeting in September or October (as one of the first projects suggested was a bulb 'outing'...)
The below article was in the Torontoist, June 2006...pretty funny...but take notes...it's a good idea...
Don't Just Sit There, Green Something.
Alright you crazy kids, who went and beautified the useless bench? Guerilla Gardeners? Xoro and friends? C'mon, fess up. Do you think Toronto's street furniture is here for our enjoyment? Have you no concern for the investment of advertising dollars? Do you think we can all afford to just stop and smell the roses? Don't you know that if you make the corner a pleasant focal point, people might loiter there? We can't have people lingering with their coffees and their dogs or *sneeze* sleeping under the stars. That's enough. Move along.
