Guerilla gardening

One iconic building that flashes into my mind when one thinks of a place to start with a project such as this is the Pekeliling flats. Wikipedia mentions a “mini jungle” but why did they not keep it as that? I’ve always imagined bursts of colour or even messages as the green forms over the tops of the flats.

The highline an old train track running through NYC was converted into an oasis above the concrete jungle where people could sit and take in a ray of sun or a breather from beneath the hustle and bustle below. Friends of the highline include Ethan Hawke and Edward Norton who campaigned for the parks existence for public use.
