Time-lapse Dig-In!
Posted in Gardens, How Can I Get Involved? by Craig Dietrich - Jun 22, 2012
LA Green Grounds Dig-Ins tend to be photogenic (if we may say so ourselves!). Whether of volunteers working hard to reclaim front-yard soil, or of smiles as people gaze onto a new edible garden, we snap photos of all Dig-Ins (and other related activities) for our Flickr page that we also compile into follow-up posts here–and link to other sites that do the same. Recently, volunteer Elon Schoenholz added a splendid new approach to our media efforts, setting up a tripod and camera at Maggie, John and Sekou’s March Dig-In and producing a time-lapse video of the event in their Vermont Square neighborhood. Check it out below (clicking play will take you to the video on Vimeo):
As Elon writes, “LA Green Grounds volunteers design and build the new gardens, generally in front yards, teaching volunteers along the way and fostering community.” It is great to see the garden building so wonderfully captured in Elon’s video, which sets a great precedent for future sharing opportunities through media. Next time you’re at a Dig-In, bring your camera, and capture some smiles.

This is totally fabulous. I am planning to do this in my backyard this summer!
