here are some pictures of the sun garden at sun down:



The impetus for this guerrilla gardening is to bring colour to neglected urban landscapes. The goal is to develop sustainable beauty that will enrich the lives in the neighbourhood for years to come. Most of these gardens are in an industrial area full of homelessness, drug use, mental illness and prostitution. Needles, used condoms and makeshift shelters can be found within feet of these photos. But don't be surprised to find just plain old gardening in here too, I love it all!

Oh, yay!!! Have you considered finding some hollyhocks to get going? They would love that wall of sunshine, and once they got established (which can take awhile), they'll grow there forever, no matter how badly they are mistreated.
I'm trying to get hollyhocks growing in my back alley, but after year 3, I still only have one plant that won't flower. I'm crossing my fingers for year 4...
