Buy lots of wildflower seeds and periodically throw the seeds out of my car window while driving on highways and interstates

It sounds like fun, but Southern California freeways are just a bunch of concrete…but the government tries to include plants…like those flower paintings on the 5 freeway wall. xD

I also want to make guerilla gardens, there’s a lot of unused lots in Anaheim.

Hurrah for St. Francis, patron of plants!

I didn’t even know it was a goal! How cool and funny! There is a great need for some wild flowers on the roads and sides of the freeway near my apartment. If I throw seeds now, there should be something growing in the spring.
Fun, and worth doing!

I should have canned this goal a long time ago! I’m all for beautifying highways and interstates, but this is kind of a recipe for disaster. I don’t want to introduce anything bad or non-native (think kudzu), or create a feeding area for animals close to the highway. Maybe I should just make sure that I pick up trash along highways and interstates if I’m looking at rocks along highway outcrops. I think that would do more good than the initial goal.

This is a really fun goal but you need to take the natural existing ecosystem in to account when you start this one. It is still doable, you just need to buy flowers that are native to your location and choose where you throw them out the window wisely!

I bought the seeds today, now I just have to figure out what the right time to throw them out the window will be.

I had someone respond to this goal with a few very good points about the impact this might have on the plant life and wildlife, and I would rather not chance the negative repercussions that might result, so I’m not going to do this!

on my way to lake george… ;o)

as it’s minus 18C today and it doesn’t look like throwing seeds out along the highway is going to amount to much, unless the birds get a meal out of them. I’ll have to wait until the spring to accomplish this goal. sigh

I love this idea!

I just love this idea, ‘Kudos’ to you-Geogal!
I live near a small town that plants wildflowers in the mediums. It is so pretty, however, they mow them down befor they have a chance to re-seed.
But, Please, do not plant clover! Deer love them, and will often get hit trying to get to them.
I am going to start with poppy seeds, which you can put out this time of year {Oct/Nov}.
