After several months, this is still among the most memorable garden stories of the year — blending child eduation, sustainability, beauty, and urban gardening! All in one!

It’s so interesting — last week we were talking with gardeners about the potential of gardening to educate kids. And now I just saw THIS — where hundereds of kids are literally changing Paris in a way Barbara above rightly suggested would not even be possible in Manhattan. The things they must learn from this. The power to change a city! Thanks so much for sharing!

I just posted about this on my blog. I love the collaborative “nature” of it. While it might be difficult (though not impossible) in a place like Manhattan, I can think of lots of small towns throughout the States (including my hometown of Beloit, Wisconsin) who could benefit from such a thoughtful project.
