> Do you know someone who owns land they aren't using?
>  
> We're piling up compost, mulch, and other gardening materials for transformational planting efforts across the city, and we can't keep it in our yards forever!
> This will mean a lot to a lot of people. Everything would be well maintained and kept neatly; we just need some unused space to get ourselves started.
>  
> Even if you know of an empty lot that has likely been forgotten about, we are willing to take the risk for a good cause.

> WE ALSO NEED
> Urgent: HAY and Straw, or a ride to go pick up said Items from inland
> Urgent: Lots of newspaper, Cardboard

> Compost & Rich Soil
> Rain Barrels

> What are we doing?
> We are giving away lots of food and flower plants to people + the information and inspiration needed to foster lasting interest in growing. 
> We are making the most of SoCal's abundant resources, planting useful things everywhere, in places where people feel useless.
> We are getting Los Angeles Growing.
>  
> Free Nursery is a flash alchemal initiative to give away lots of plants and transform dreary city landscapes all over Los Angeles. 
> The Free Nursery puts into action, what remains a thought in most of our minds: there is a lot of land around that can be put to good use and maximized potential. People do not have to go without, there are resources all around us. Most people hold this concept in their mind. We are ready to make it reality.
>  
> Free nursery will employ advanced planting techniques in neighborhoods that need it most to bring about beautified, improved environments and fresh organic food, exciting communities about food with youthful, innovative outreach!
