“Guerrilla gardening is gardening on land that the
gardeners do not have legal right to use, often an abandoned site or area not
cared for by anyone. It encompasses a very diverse range of people and
motivations, from the enthusiastic gardener who spills over their legal
boundaries to the highly political gardener who seeks to provoke change through
direct action.
“Some guerrilla
gardeners carry out their actions at night, in relative secrecy, to sow and
tend a new vegetable patch or flower garden in an effort to make the area of
use and/or more attractive. Some garden at more visible hours to be seen by
their community. It has grown into a form of activism.” (Wikipedia.org)
But not all guerilla gardeners have noble intentions.
