April 2010 Rock 'n Crawl Metro Red Line (Universal City to Downtown) We went back and updated our gardens from the orginal crawl. The gardens we put in on our first crawl had been trampled and underwatered. But we're not quitters. So we revisited the spots and added mulch, decorative rocks and more love. We also brought 9 live bands with us to celebrate at each stop! More Pictures

January 2010 Seed Bomb (Bar) Crawl Metro Red Line We ran 990 stairs, created 7 new gardens, threw 167 seedbombs, had a few drinks and did it all IN THE RAIN! Special thanks to everyone who showed up in the rain and we can't wait to do it again! More Pictures

August 30, 2009 Edgemont & Hollywood Troop Member, King David, found this spot because he passes it weekly on his way to the laundry mat.

This garden was a bit of a test to make sure it stays put...we plan to return and do the entire spot soon. More pictures

Mar 15 , 2009 The Big Dig This dig was completely organized by high school GG group, The South Central Resistance. They encouraged family, friends and community members to make a difference in their neighborhood. The afternoon included workshops on How-to-Garden and Making Seed Bombs. The turnout was incredible and included LA's youngest guerrilla gardener to date, Teddy who is 2-years old. Also at the dig was a USC student film group finishing up their documentary on Guerrilla Gardening. The entire afternoon was a true inspiration. More pictures
