Guerrilla gardening

Guerrilla gardening is an informal and often unauthorized practice of planting flowers, vegetables, or greenery in neglected or abandoned urban spaces. This activity aims to improve the environment, beautify communities, and promote awareness of local food production. Participants, often called guerrilla gardeners, may transform vacant lots, roadside areas, or unused public land into colorful gardens, encouraging community engagement and sustainability. While sometimes viewed as a form of activism, it highlights the importance of green spaces in cities and fosters a connection between people and nature.
