Kindergarten children dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen
In a world inundated with technology and digital distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of the simplicity and charm of nature.
A recent guerrilla gardening experiment by kindergarten children reminds us of nature’s resilience and its ability to flourish in the most improbable spaces.The children did an experiment in guerrilla gardening by dropping seeds into sidewalk cracks and observing the results. At first glance, it might have appeared to be a fruitless endeavor – what could possibly grow in such a confined, unlikely environment? However, as time passed, a miraculous transformation unfolded.

Nature prevailed
Against all odds, the seeds sprouted and grew, piercing the concrete and reaching skyward. The children were captivated and delighted by the spectacle, learning a valuable lesson about perseverance and the astounding tenacity of nature.This unassuming experiment highlights the significance of nature in our lives. We often take it for granted, but nature envelops us, even in the most unexpected locations. It possesses the power to inspire, heal, and remind us of the astonishing beauty and wonder of the world we inhabit.
It demonstrates the potency of curiosity and experimentation. The children participating in this guerrilla gardening experiment were merely intrigued by the potential outcome of dropping seeds into sidewalk cracks. They didn’t know what to anticipate but were willing to explore and observe. Consequently, they acquired essential knowledge about the power of experimentation and the thrill of discovery.
Nature is everything
Amid our hectic lifestyles, it’s all too easy to overlook the marvels of nature and the influence of curiosity and experimentation. Yet, the simple act of sowing seeds in sidewalk cracks serves as a compelling reminder of the enchantment that permeates our everyday existence.So, when you find yourself feeling swamped or stressed, take a moment to reconnect with nature. Be it a stroll in the park, a hike through the woods, or merely pausing to admire a flower or a tree, nature offers a gentle reminder of life’s true priorities.
Who knows? You might even be inspired to embark on your own guerrilla gardening experiment and uncover the wonders nature holds in store for you.

Hello Fedi friends!
Another day of editing and motion graphics ahead - powered by coffee 😅
The other day when we were filming the #EleFediVideos I got in trouble. We had a coffee cup as a prop and I lost count of how many espressos I drank. I think I went up to 7 that day! 😱
Well, I found a solution: I’m borrowing my daughter’s abacus and I’m placing it next to my coffee machine to keep track of how many coffees I’m having.
Wishing you all a lovely day! 🌞

thanks for the reply Elena! 😀
I can understand, we're all under time and deadlines pressure.
@freehive use only FLOSS software to produce stunning graphics and product videos. Maybe the workflow can be more complex but for sure it seems an alternative way exists. (I'm saying this in general, not pointed to you....don't worry! 😀 )
I'd be curious to know what kind of workflow they use to produce a complex video/project!
We solved this in the Nordics by inventing the "coffee with lots of milk in it". After a suitable amount of those you simply _can't_ get your body to accept any more that day.
I'm off to Rome in three weeks and I'm already getting worried that I might have to drink espressos instead ... ;)

Amazon claims its warehouse robots do not replace human workers, but the figures show they do. What should we do about that? In a more equitable society, with government dominated by workers rather than billionaires, we would tax companies like Amazon heavily so as to support the non-rich more, so that each of them could work fewer hours. That way, increased productivity would benefit everyone who could work.
Amazon says it’s a ‘myth’ that robots kill jobs. Here’s the reality

Really nice walk after the rain.. the leaves are still fresh and new, softly glowing.
I know the English word for " earthy smell after rain" is #petrichor, from Ancient Greek.
But what about the "vibrant colours, soft lighting, extra-loud birdsong"?
Maybe another language has one for this phenomenon? (Looking at you, German!)

Eine Person malt eine weiße Linie auf die Straße, während eine andere ein Fahrrad mit einem Herzsymbol malt. Eine dritte Person steht in der Nähe und beobachtet die Arbeit.
