Guerilla Gardening

It does seem an awful waste of land when you see these public spaces that are basically ugly and neglected. So much potential for growing both flowers and edibles but the bureaucratic hurdles are far too great for most gardeners to deal with.

Enter the Guerilla Gardening movement....

Check out some of the before and after photos on their website. Yes, there is some risk and expense involved but if it's a spot you pass all the time it's almost like planting your own yard, except many more people benefit from your efforts

I walked by our local park the other day and noticed that someone had planted a vegetable garden there over night. I was pretty excited that someone had taken the initiative to do this and they had even put up a sign encouraging anyone in the neighborhood to use whatever successfully grew there. Alas, two days later the entire garden was gone. Apparently, the city was not quite as happy about this development as I was...
