guerrilla gardening
Illicit urban cultivation
Guerrilla gardening is planting in neglected public spaces without permission—vacant lots, highway medians, patches of urban wasteland.
The practice combines environmentalism with civil disobedience, reclaiming unused land for beauty or food production: We've been guerrilla gardening that abandoned lot on Fifth Street.
Participants range from activists making political statements to neighbors who simply want flowers where weeds grow.
