The Guerrilla Gardeners

Posted by garym on May 18, 2006 - 7:59pm

Richard has a dream of recording 100 seed-and-run rebel stealth gardens overtaking derelict urban spaces by the end of the 2006 planting season. I wonder if the recent hit on the public school vegetable garden would count as a shameless act of senseless beautification ...

Founder Richard Reynolds has enlisted the help of people similarly dedicated to beautifying public space in UK urban areas, and the movement has inspired other groups ... Apparently, even the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are in on the act.

Richard's site is collecting up all the stories, press coverage and covert photo-shoots, and also includes many tips on late-night watering and building tactical seed-bombs.
