I still have four seed bombs left in a baggie in my purse.....just waiting for the right spot. 8-) (and yes I did make sure there were no invasives in them.)

Very cool article Bri. I'm gonna have to check out their web site. I liked the "seed bomb" making pictures. I'll have to forget about the last one wearing Stilettos as a digging tool!!LOL...On a similar note though, I did bring 4 seedlings that I won at a Florida Colors Nursery open house last April, to my work place and planted them in the front of our building. One already has an inflo on it. I hope it blooms. They are all inside a fenced in area so I don't have to worry about plumie poachers :-) I like the electro-shock idea though!! :-) Thanks for posting a link to the article. John

I agree Ziggy, condoms and ornaments? Otherwise sounds good to me. Beautifying a public space using his own free time and funds. He says that he doesnt bother private land, which is good, because, regardless of its state, it still isnt his. Have to admit though, I havent read many articles related to gardening that mention Che and Mao. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Actually, golf courses, for the most part, are far from sterile. Most have huge sections of undisturbed native areas, lots of flowers, native trees and grasses. Bees and other wildlife have access to water on golf courses! More and more courses have worked very hard at becoming good stewards of the environment, even attaining certification with the Audubon society. They are considered "bee banks" with their areas of bee safe perimeters and islands. I've consulted with golf courses that allowed bee keepers to house their hives on the property. Of course, it takes a concerted effort to operate a golf course that meets high environmental standards. It's not difficult....just different. Bees, any kind of bee, have very little interest in golf greens or fairways; that's the real estate that sees most of the pesticide applications. GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendent Association of America), the governing body for those who care for golf grounds, has been deeply involved in environmental aspects of course management for many, many years. A more likely cause of severe bee decline is loss of habitat, and indiscriminate pesticide use by homeowners, landscaping companies, and some agricultural practices. Parasites that kill bees are widespread, too.
