it’s not very difficult to make a concrete traffic island look less ugly.
It just needs time, soil, Some lavender and a moderate commitment to weeding
What really makes it work, though, is letting go of the result and taking pleasure in new possiblity.
Maybe people will steal the flowers or dogs will pee in on them.
But maybe also bees would have food, the soil would absorb the sun and the neighbourhood’s journey home would have a little more joy.
