Brussels Farmers - Sunflowers in the concrete jungle/zoo

Brussels Farmers Sunflower Chaussée de WaterlooAlmost Summer and that means flowers are to be blossoming again. If you’re into urban gardening and you want to put that old flowerpower in contrast with our concrete jungle, what better choice than the giraffe of all flowers: the allmighty Sunflower?

As absurd as it sounds this is no joke. A bunch of enthusiasts plant Sunflowers around Brussels every year. They started their action May 1st and their stories are up for reads at brussels-farmer.blogspot.com.

And this is the year 2007 so all of this was filmed, which is brilliant:


Actually as I’m posting this, there’s a plantation being started at the Botanique, at 13h30. Unfortunately I came accross this just a bit too late, I should have told you earlier, I’ll be quicker next time, promised!

More on Guerilla Gardening. Or how about grass couches in the city? People worldwide seem to be dealing with concrete versus nature, solid versus green if you will.
