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

10. Protest requires communication. Who are you communicating with?

If your message is "This vacant land should be planted" or whatever - fine that's a good message - but you need to tell it to someone.

Don't keep it a secret. Find the landowner - city or county or whatever - and tell them you think there should be a garden there.

You may be pleasantly surprised to discover that sometimes politicians want to please their constituents. Even the greediest pig needs votes, and a photo-op on an unused piece of land that citizen-volunteers are beautifying is a classic win-win-win for all.

You will never know unless you try. Pick up the phone, send an email - whatever.

Just don't think that you are "protesting" if you aren't putting your message in plain language so people can figure out what it is you want.
