Look at all that grass. Councils like grass. Much tidier than those "wildflower meadows" and 'neglected corners' for 'wildlife'. </p> <p>And as for all those anarchic allotment sheds... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9550#post-101514 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:10:27 +0000 wingpig 101514@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's an official Council poster rather than a guerilla poster like the original guerilla garden so is probably safe from removal by the Council equivalent of a SWAT team. Perhaps local residents could cut out pictures of fruits and vegetables from magazines, draw smiley faces on them and stick them on the picture, which at the moment doesn't really indicate anything to do with growing things. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9550#post-101506 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:39:06 +0000 lionfish 101506@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks chdot!<br /> Not really sure what I think about that... so I not fill out the consultation.
