Wildflowering L.A. is a native wildflower seed planting initiative throughout LA County beginning in October 2013 by artist Fritz Haeg.

Wildflowering L.A. brings a wild and beautiful seasonal native landscape to open plots of land. 50 sites are selected from an open call based on visibility and distribution across the county. At 2 workshops in partnership with The Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers & Native Plants, soil prep, seeding, and wildflower tending are demonstrated. One of four custom wildflower seed mixes is prescribed for the selected site – Coastal, Flatlands, Hillside, and Roadside- inspired by Reyner Banham’s “Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies”. Each of the selected sites is identified with a carved wood sign. The project culminates with an exhibition in spring 2014.

If you are interested in participating:
– You should have ownership (or permission from the owner) of an open plot of land that is sunny and completely visible from the street.
– Seeds are provided for areas from 500-2000 sq. ft.
– A 4×5 wood sign is installed on each site after the seeds are planted by the owners in November
– Each site will be on a published map and photographed before/after for the exhibition.
– Please email a photo of the site taken from the street or public viewing spot, square footage, and the complete address for consideration to: wildfloweringla@nomadicdivision.org
