The Guerrilla Gardening movement

Guerrilla gardening is an activist movement where individuals or groups cultivate plants in neglected or abandoned public spaces, often without permission. This practice aims to beautify urban areas, promote biodiversity, and raise awareness about environmental issues. Participants typically plant flowers, vegetables, or herbs in places like vacant lots or roadside patches to reclaim land and inspire community involvement. By transforming overlooked areas into green spaces, guerrilla gardeners seek to challenge urban neglect and encourage sustainable practices in cities, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards public environments.
