Brooklyn Swarm Build TIMELAPSE!

August 27, 2012

Hee hee – fun times in the big city. Here a group of spirited volunteers got together to plant themselves a hillslide. Nice!  Shoveling, pickaxing, gathering free woodchips from a local cemetery,  light carpentry and heavy comradery added up to a fun day of work and a great new 4′ hillslide planted in the community’s sweet children’s play courtyard. Yeah!

East Tennessee SWARM BUILD

Together we planted new plants, added bamboo vine climbing poles to an arbor, constructed a boulder-marble-concrete water feature (complete with a kid-controlled water barrel trickle), and created a beautiful tile mosaic mural on a long concrete block wall. Check it out:
