[Scpg] Wildflowering L.A.: A project by Fritz Haeg - Open Call for Sites in Los Angeles County! (In Collaboration with Theodore Payne Foundation)

[Wildflowering LA]

Presented by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), Wildflowering L.A.
is a native wildflower seed planting initiative throughout Los Angeles
County beginning in October 2013 by artist Fritz Haeg. 

Wildflowering
L.A. brings a wild and beautiful seasonal native landscape to open plots
of land throughout Los Angeles County. 50 sites are selected from an
open call based on public visibility and distribution across the county.
Owners of selected sites are given free native wildflower seed mixes at
workshops in partnership with The Theodore Payne Foundation for
Wildflowers & Native Plants. Soil preparation, seeding, and wildflower
tending is demonstrated and one of four custom wildflower seed mixes is
prescribed - Coastal, Flatlands, Hillside, and Roadside - inspired by
Reyner Banham's 1971 book, "Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four
Ecologies". Each of the participating sites is officially identified
with a prominent carved wood sign. The project culminates with an
exhibition in spring 2014.

If you are interested in participating:

*
You should have ownership of an open plot of land (or permission
from
the owner to plant) that is sunny and completely visible from a
public
street.
* Seeds are provided for areas from 500 to 2000 square feet.
* A
4' by 5' wood sign is installed on each site by the project team
after
the seeds are planted by the owners in November.
* Each site will be
identified on a published map and photographed
before and after for the
spring exhibition.
* Please email a photo of the site taken from the
street or public
viewing spot and the complete address for consideration
to:
wildfloweringla at nomadicdivision.org
