Parcels of "unused land" in several American cities are about to get a joint makeover, courtesy (of all things), Planters Peanuts:
Planters, famous for their peanuts and other snacks, has announced a plan to transform unused land in New Orleans, Washington, D.C., New York City, and San Francisco into “natural, green spaces” called Planters Groves. Interestingly, leading landscape architect Ken Smith, ASLA, has signed on to design these peanut-shaped urban parks made of reclaimed materials and featuring native trees and “plants from the legume family.” Each park will be designed to blend with the local feel of the city, but will include a well-positioned Mr. Peanut statue on a peanut bench (no joke).
Ah, yes, "plants from the legume family." It's an ad, in the form of a pocket park.
A vehicle called the "Nutmobile" will periodically be parked at the Planters Groves, when not trolling the cities attempting to "grow the cities through volunteering."
