Plant Labels
These tags will be the last bit of “Guerrilla Gardening” for a little while.
What are we sowing? What have we planted? It seems like we forget unless it’s labeled.
This is an attempt to highlight the “obvious-yet-invisible”, to encourage/shame municipal authorities into doing some real gardening with their many derelict planter boxes.
It is also meant to inspire Guerrilla Gardeners to take action of their own!!
Or, at least, maybe just discourage people from planting anymore garbage trees. I don’t think we need more of that sort of “Guerrilla Gardening”.

Hahaha! This is a classy thing to do – I especially like the “Weeds and banana peels” one. I guess we should be thankful here in Winnipeg that most of our planters are actually tended to. Unless I am looking at the wrong planters?

I think the idea is cool, but I find the execution is lacking. This may just be because I am totally not a gardener. But when I first saw these I didn’t see a connection between what’s there (labeled garbage) and what should be there (flowers). You’d think the labels being in planters would help but you can forget what they’re supposed to be with the state they are in. A play off of the labels you get when you buy flowers (with the name and picture) might do it for me. As it is you could’ve stuck a label on a paper cup on the street and I wouldn’t see much difference.
