[UrbanCropCircle] guerrilla gardening in Ballard

[Andrea Faste]

There are always places for guerrilla gardening.  Baker Park on Crown Hill is another.  I think the question is whether this falls in line with the interests of people currently involved with Crop Circle.  I had thought the UCC was aimed more at sharing skills and knowledge in private backyards.  However,
if Michael wants to start some occasional forays into public parks, I am happy to join in.

As we got to talking, I told her that I had (surruptitiously) done some weeding in my spare time, and that it would be great to team up with the Parks Department to commit random (or loosely planned) acts of beauty.
