Guerilla Gardening: The Bizarre Art of Subversive Urban Planting
Guerrilla gardening isn’t always about well-tended gardens full of food, herbs and medicinal plants. Some forms of it, like seed bombing, are used to surreptitiously improve areas that guerrilla gardeners can’t get to places like vacant lots secured with locked chain-link fences, or steep banks.

All the same, guerrilla gardeners often work early in the morning or late at night, dodging the authorities whenever possible, who occasionally stop by to ask questions.

Guerilla Gardening: The Bizarre Art of Subversive Urban Planting
Richard Reynolds hates to see weed-filled, disused spots of land – whether they’re traffic medians, sidewalk parkways or vacant lots. Richard, the founder of GuerrillaGardening.org, sees potential in each of those barren, nearly lifeless plots of land: potential for beauty, food, medicine and community pride.

GUERILLA GARDENING: Flowers Beautify Abandoned Flyer Box
Hoping to bring some color and cheer to the streets of Toronto, Canada, street artist, Posterchild, decided to become a guerrilla gardener by potting six perky marigolds in an abandoned flyer box. The newly-transformed planter box is illustrative of the point that forgotten pieces of urban furniture may be used to beautify the streets.

Guerrilla gardeners may engage in the practice for a number of reasons, ranging from the desire to introduce more plants into an otherwise plant-less or tree-less space; to making political statements about land reform; to taking action that will enforce some kind of change in an area that appeared up ‘til that time to be neglected or abandoned.
