Enthusiasts have tens of thousands of hemp seeds planted yesterday in Amsterdam’s parks and gardens. The project, called ‘Eden’ is an action against the dulling of Amsterdam. It is funded by the Awesome Foundation.
About forty kilos of seeds were handed out in Vondelpark. In groups, the seeds were sown on foot and by bicycle through the city. Not only in the Vondelpark, but also in restaurants and in the gardens of the Rijksmuseum.

When the plants come out, the weed is actually smokable…
