Under the guidance of sustainability expert and coach, Michael Mobbs, CarriageWorks’ Kitchen Garden Project is a series of free community activities based on the notion of creative sustainability.

CarriageWorks supports guerrilla gardening! The brainchild of Los Angeles-based Common Studio, Greenaid, aims to facilitate what it calls ‘guerrilla gardening’ in the many forgotten grey spaces of the urban world, including sidewalk cracks, vacant lots and parking medians. Toward that end, it has reclaimed a series of old, quarter-operated candy machines and converted them instead for use selling seed bombs—mixtures of clay, compost and seeds that can be thrown anonymously into derelict urban sites to (temporarily) reclaim and transform them. Found this little gem via one of my favourite websites, Springwise, which is an awesome project that scans the whole wide world looking for the  most interesting, experimental, exciting business ideas.  If you are not already across Springwise, have a look around their website.  I am pretty sure you’ll find something that delights you!
