What could be better than confetti and guerrilla gardening? Yep, a combination of both. Joran gifted me some ‘Grow & Throw Confetti’ by Niko Niko. Their paper flowers are handmade from recycled paper, biodegradable and contain flower seeds. Real flowers grow from them 6-8 weeks after you plant them. I love their products and see a strong resemblance in vision with the Kindness Kit I designed (which contains biodegradable confetti as well).
I walked around town, looking for sunny spots that weren’t shielded from the rain and contained enough soil. Then I waved my confetti paper flowers byebye. I hope they grow into beautiful wild flowers that are pleasing to the eye of random people passing by.
Did you ever plant flowers in a public space? If not, would you want to?

That is the most fun gift ever! I have planted gardens at school and church, but nothing quite that spontaneous.

Oh that sounds like a lot of fun too! That way you do ensure that a regular group of people will enjoy the sight of it :)

I secretly kept only a few peddles because I kind of want to plant some for myself too ;)

Awwww! I love this idea and now I NEED to get some flower confetti! I’ve never planted flowers in a public place, but I did one time unload a CRAZY amount of wildflower seeds up & down the ditches in front of the homes on my parent’s street. It was AWESOME to watch them bloom!
