Paris allows anyone to plant an urban garden

Paris just passed a new law that allows anyone to plant an urban garden within the city’s limits. Upon receiving a permit, gardeners can grow plants on walls, in boxes, on rooftops, under trees, or on fences. They can cultivate greenery in front of their homes or offices. They can grow flowers, vegetables, and fruit. Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo’s goal is to create 100 hectares of living walls andgreen roofs by the year 2020, with one third of that greenery dedicated to agriculture.

I’m almost done with my third Victuri zine: September Flowers. Here’s some illustrations featured in there!

NOTES: I referenced heavily for the St. Petersburg one (I’m more embarrassed about people finding the stock pic I used for reference, than coming outright and saying: MY BRAIN WAS DRY OUT OF CREATIVITY. I AM A PIECE OF SHIT. I AM SORRY), and then there’s the obvious reference to Miyazaki’s “The Wind Rises.”
Just. Wanted to point those out.
