    Quick Wins

    Find a patch of dirt or even a pothole and do a guerrilla gardening blitz! It might be a permanent change or even just an urban provocation.

    The number 1 rule in placemaking is to show that someone cares about the space.

    Ingredients:

    • Find a space
    • Add some plants

    Method:

    1. Try to choose plants that are native to the area, hardy and/or have low water needs. Native pigface (Carpobrotus Glaucescens) is an excellent choice as it grows from cuttings (so basically free), very hardy, native and spreads quickly over a patch of dirt.
    2. You might need to water whatever you plant to begin with until it gets established.
