Urban Ecological Subversion: The Art of Guerilla Gardening in Public Spaces

Garden guerillas are surreptitiously planting flowers where once there was decay. Covert landscaping replaces trash filled roadsides.

Some guerilla gardeners have been questioned by the authorities, suspected of vandalism or even accused of terrorist activity.

I'm always hopeful when I see someone giving of themselves to other people or to the planet. Especially those who do so without expecting any type of return and this is something that most everyone can do.

For more information on guerilla gardening, take a look at Guerilla Gardening: A Manifesto. Buy book on Amazon.

Gardening as terrorist activity. Weapons of mass decoration.

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
