From the link: Q: Do you have a favorite hellstrip you've seen? A: Yes, I just revisited it a few weeks ago. It was designed by Lauren Springer Ogden, who wrote the book's preface and came up with the term hellstrip. It's 800 feet long and is at The Gardens on Spring Creek, a public garden in Fort Collins, Colo. It's glorious. You could spend days there learning things. I highly recommend people go there and check it out. https://web.archive.org/web/20250821210037/https://www.oregonlive.com/hg/2014/08/parking_strip_gardening_tips_t.html

@amcooper@toot.cat @redcrew@mstdn.social @ClimateJenny@biodiversity.social Because when you live in a city, it often looks like hell, is what I assumed. Drought-stricken lawn, litter, parked vehicles, etc. It *can* look wonderful, but when gardeners do this they often get hassled by cities because they're planting natives and letting them grow to their true height instead of mowing a lawn.

Not sure what they are called, but some folks in Portland, Maine and other places plant flowers for pollinators in them... @amcooper@toot.cat @redcrew@mstdn.social @ClimateJenny@biodiversity.social @meganL@mas.to https://kolektiva.social/@DoomsdaysCW/115084445113882165
