People walking between the bus stop (outside the picture) and the building (on the right) don’t like taking the long route around this huge green circle. It was pretty obvious that this would happen sooner or later.

I’ve been thinking of collecting some flat stones and making that path myself.

This is in the realm of Guerilla Gardening, and I strongly approve. I suggest putting some gravel under the flat stones, as it helps with leveling, and can make your positioning of the stones more durable.

Guerilla Gardening eh? Of course it’s a thing… Well, now I know what to call it. I thought I was just being an anarchist or something.

Thanks for the tips too!
