It has to be the only type of street art that is actively good for the environment. I wonder what the legal status would be? Is growing a plant somewhere it’s not supposed to be, against the law?

Moss Graffiti - A Pictorial Guide

 I wasn’t sure whether it was legit, but I found some more pictures and a video ‘how to’ guide, so I have my fingers crossed that this will spark an artistic revolution in our towns and cities. There seems to be quite a lot on the internet about it, so hopefully it will catch on a treat with people less lazy than me.
