crime-fighting flowers (in Suginami, Tokyo)…
“By planting flowers facing the street, more people will be keeping an eye out while taking care of the flowers or watering them.” Flower seeds were planted on side streets and in front of residents homes. The idea being that locals would take interest in tending the growth of their flowers and spend more time being observant of their surroundings. Thieves were apparently put off by such alert residents.”
