So Much Hashtag Radical Action With Plants Is Well Intentioned But Under Considered - Tumblr Posts

I appreciate the seed bombing of public spaces as a form of environmentalism as long as you're using native seeds but please don't do it to someone's front yard. I spent nearly six months constantly removing a plant I was incredibly allergic to only to catch someone seedbombing it back because it was 'pretty' and 'had every right to be there'.

My front yard is already filled with pretty and native plants. Even if it wasn't, putting seeds in someone's yard is a jerk move when you don't know them or their history.

I can't take care of a yard filled with plants that make me sick. My yard accounts for most of the neighbourhood's butterfly population on account of everyone else poisons anything in their front yard that isn't grass because of this kind of bad behaviour.

Yes, I'm cutting back a lot of the extra growth out front. It's a fire hazard, there's too much underbrush and I don't intend to be responsible for burning down the neighbourhood. Cutting back plants to reduce fire danger and ensure that I can take care of a garden neglected for over a decade is not a bad thing.

We got twice as many flowers this year because the flowering plants could actually reach the sunlight.

Stop seedbombing my front yard dammit!
