International Sunflower Guerrilla Gardening Day
May 1 · Level 4 · #1538 of 2238
On this day guerrilla gardeners plant sunflowers on neglected, drab patches of land that nobody tends. Grey scraps of wasteland turn into bright yellow corners.
How it is celebrated: plant lovers go out alone or in small groups, sow seeds on vacant lots, along roadsides and beside fences, then come back in summer to enjoy the blooms.
Young sunflowers turn their buds to follow the sun across the sky during the day. Once a plant is mature, it usually stops moving and faces east.
