Urban Rewilding: Concrete Blooms

While the sun climbed higher, I scouted the storm drain behind my building, hoping a stray seedling had found a new home. The little cub that once shared compost with me still reminds me of how generous nature can be; I scribble its tale in my seed diary with hopeful ink and pause when crushed daisies whisper beneath the pavement. A tiny cube of soil I laid near the cracked pavement has sprouted something, perhaps a promise that even concrete can bloom again. My overprotective instinct flares whenever someone trims the grass too short; after all, every blade deserves to stay just right. In quiet moments I chat with the thorns in my balcony garden, debating how best to keep invasive species at bay #UrbanRewilding 🌱
