Does anybody know anything about Guerilla Gardening? What is it?

8. If you contact the property owner, it isn't guerilla gardening. And

guerilla gardening is not done in somebody's yard. that would be rude. and pointless.

it is done in public spaces.

It is a wonderful way to create some commons.

I've done it. There was a small patch of land in a triangle of land which was created by 2 roads. I knew it had been there for years, knew it had been gardened once. Knew that no one had done anything for years.

I asked the homeowners who abutted the space if they owned it; they said no, they thot it belonged to the city.
So I started planting things.
And - someone else added to my efforts. I never met them, but they came along, planted, weeded.
cool.

And there is something called, seed bombs. Lots of site online tell how to make them. And then people throw them. A means to diversify.

I personally would not throw them on private property. But any roadside, park, etc is fair game. They are easy to make.

by the way, the name of this forum is "activist". Don't know about anyone else but in my book, going to city council is not activism. Maybe to the poster, doing anything is being active.
And to discourage anyone from being a guerrilla warrior definitely suggests to me that you are in the wrong forum.
