LOUISVILLE, KY (WISN) — On Tuesday, protesters planted several hundred plants at Jefferson Square Park.

Organizers said they wanted to send a message that not all protesters are destroying the city, as they peacefully demonstrate on behalf of Breonna Taylor.

“We still care about our city. We’re here and we’re not burning our city down because we care about it but we also want our demands met and we want to be listened to,” said Shameka Parrish-Wright of the Kentucky Alliance.

We’re told the plants were all donated by a local farmer.
