Slog - Comments on Gardening for Good http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/gardening_for_good Anna Ullrich, an eco-conscious artist and web developer who brings her own plate to lunch at the Microsoft cafeteria, bought the "Stranger Distro Team Fixes Up Your Park" item at Strangercrombie 2007. She sicced the distribution crew on St. Mark's Greenbelt, where they pulled out invasive holly, blackberry, and ivy on a sunny Saturday.

What a great way to brighten up public space, and help out FareStart. I'll not grumble about piles of free newspapers for a while.

Great job!

Excellent!
