Yesterday I posted an item about Guerilla Marketing. Presurfer reader cb from digimills said in the comments he prefered Guerilla Gardening. I had never heard of Guerilla Gardening before.Guerilla Gardening is all about the illicit cultivation of neglected public space. It is political gardening, a form of nonviolent direct action. Activists take over an abandoned piece of land which they do not own to grow crops or plants. Guerrilla gardeners believe in re-considering land ownership in order to reclaim land from perceived neglect or misuse and assign a new purpose to it.
Some guerrilla gardeners carry out their actions at night, in relative secrecy, to sow and tend a new vegetable patch or flower garden. Others work more openly, seeking to engage with members of the local community.
