Guerrilla Gardening


I know you want to do it.  Gardening that is.  But you live in the city with a small patch of grass or weeds or maybe marigolds in the back yard and you have nowhere to plant your tomatoes and hops and rosemary!  OMG what to do.  

Guerrilla gardening may be your answer.  By far the most fantastic idea I've seen in a while.  I have been yearning for years to begin a community garden, to join with fellow fresh vegetable lovers to plant pretty things and pick them to eat orgasmically in just a few weeks.  But this idea is better...plant something in patches of mud or grass left untended or left to be ugscape (ugly scape: ie: nothing nice to look at); and plant something pretty!; whether it be a flower or a vegetable or an herb!  And then many more people than you can enjoy that little plot that was previously mud or pebbles.  Check out the guerrilla gardening website, then get excited, and THEN start your own group.  Beautify your neighborhood & mine, pretty please?

Fanastic! I love this idea. If you need more motivation to do it, go read about PEAK OIL. I watched a documentary on it today. Scary.
