Most people are busy hustling from point A to point B without thinking about how they could add a little joy wherever they go.
The person in this story is not one of those people.
They have come up with a creative and easy to replicate way to add a little surprise in unexpected places.
Let’s read all the details.
I leave sunflower seeds in random cracks and corners. I’ve been doing it for years.
Wherever I go city streets, hiking trails, alleyways I drop a few sunflower seeds.
Sidewalk edges, forgotten planters, even a chipped corner of concrete near a parking lot.
No big mission, no deeper meaning.
It just feels good to imagine a burst of yellow surprising someone months later.
It’s the idea of making someone notice something unexpected.
I’ve seen a few pop up in odd places.
I don’t stick around long enough to see if they bloom, but the thought of someone stumbling upon a sunflower where there shouldn’t be one? That’s enough.
It’s my small way of saying: something unexpected can still grow.
Till next wander scatter joy, grow wild.
That’s such a unique way to spread a little surprise in unexpected places.
Let’s see what Reddit thought of this idea.

At least for some people.
