Under the Seed Launch
Under the Seed sprouted in West Footscray, starting as an eco-friendly organically grown garden with bio-degradable seedlings for sale or swap. Little by little the garden blossomed from herbs, fruit and vegetables to adding plants, succulents and cacti.
The concept ‘Artist Planters’ originated after commissioning Blender Studios artist Ruskidd to paint a DIY garden gnome using his brilliant techniques, and from there the idea was born. Under the Seed works side by side with local Melbourne artists to produce one-of-a-kind planter boxers to liven up your home or garden.
Artist Planters ‘where nature meets the streets’.
Sprung! brings together the first series of collaborative ‘Artist Planters’ curated and presented by Under the Seed and featuring artists:
Mitch Walder – Ruskidd – DNART – Kenz – Poise – Le Grizz – Frosk – Junky Projects – Stopem – Crisis – Ohnoes – Chehehe – Silk Roy – Facter – Zoe Mullins
Join us for the opening of Sprung! on the last day of winter, Friday the 31st of August from 6-9pm with drinks supplied by the lovely folks at Young Henrys!

Ron Finley: A guerilla gardener in South Central LA
Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA — in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where “the drive-thru’s are killing more people than the drive-by’s.”
“Growing your own food is like printing your own money”
This is exactly why I’m a passionate gardener and starting my own seedling business this year.
Keep your eye out for Under The Seed.

High Times in Montevideo
Uruguay could be first to fully legalise marijuana. On July 31st 2013 Uruguay’s lower house successfully passed a marijuana legalisation bill, putting Uruguay in position to become the first country that will legally regulate the production, distribution and sale of marijuana.
All 50 members of the governing Broad Front coalition approved the proposal in a party line vote just before midnight Wednesday, keeping a narrow majority of the 96 lawmakers present after more than 13 hours of passionate debate.
“The movement started with people like myself who preferred to grow our own instead of exposing ourselves to the danger of buying from drug dealers.”
– Juan Vaz, head of AECU (the Uruguayan Cannabis Studies Association). -
