Night Gardening

Last Wednesday was my 25th birthday and I really wanted to celebrate by making something pretty for my block.

In front of my building there's this little square of dirt and weeds that has been there forever.

In a city where almost everything is made of concrete, why have a tiny piece of land filled with weeds when we can have a tiny piece of land filled with flowers?!

So I planned a little night gardening party and had all the bare necessities... friends, flowers, gardening tools,

fun gloves, fancy shoes,

and long balloons to make silly balloon animals.

It may be a small garden, but it adds color to my block and makes my neighbors smile...

and that's all I really wanted for my birthday.
