  2. A work call cancelled so I went out and did some guerrilla gardening. I forgot to take a before photo!! Oops. So imagine this path but not there, instead all overgrown trees and bush so you had to walk on the road to get passed the gap between pavements.

  8. Some unfortunate news for #guerillagardening

    TL;DR :
    Pollinators can be affected by heavy metals found in the pollen of plants found in industrialized soil (ie the strip of dirt next to a road)

  9. The following is an account of my first and so far only foray into #GuerillaGardening.

    Back a couple of years before Lockdown I was out collecting flies alongside the river Thames near Reading when it started to rain and, as I had forgotten to bring my umbrella with me, I went to shelter under a nearby tree. While waiting for the rain to pass I looked up and discovered that the tree was heavy with unripe walnuts. I made a mental note to revisit the tree later in the year when the walnuts would be ripe. Over the following two years I collected several carrier bag loads of walnuts from that tree, easily £100 worth at shop prices, and they were perfectly good to eat. Then just before Lockdown some contractors putting in underground electricity cables cut two large branches off the tree. This annoyed me intensely and I determined to somehow restore my supply of walnuts.

    I went online and ordered 12 walnut tree saplings and a foldable spade. I also bought bamboo canes and helical plastic stem protectors. Then, during the first November of Lockdown, I discreetly planted these saplings at various fairly obscure locations around Reading. Over the next two years I regularly tended the saplings, feeding them during the spring and watering and mulching them during the drier parts of the summer.

    Two died within a year when their leaves were all eaten, probably by a muntjac deer. Two more lived for a few years but never had more than half a dozen leaves, probably because I had planted them in acid soil. But the other eight are all now taller than me and each year sprout lots of large healthy looking leaves. And I am looking forward to my first crop of walnuts from them within the next five to ten years.

  10. I came across this website from one of the #GuerillaGardening articles I posted earlier. Some good stuff!

    The Ultimate Guide To Guerrilla Gardening

    by Elisabeth Beauchamp, April 10, 2025

    "If you’ve ever seen wildflowers sprouting out of cracks in an abandoned parking lot, you might’ve witnessed the results of guerrilla gardening. Guerrilla gardening is a planting technique used by gardeners around the world to fulfill various intentions. No matter what, it involves growing plants or crops on land owned by someone else.

    "It can be used as a political statement or simply to fulfill the desire to beautify one’s neighborhood. Guerrilla gardening has become a popular method of community revitalization worldwide. In fact, it might be happening right under your feet. If you’re interested in beautifying outdoor spaces in your city, keep reading to learn more..."

  12. #GuerillaGardening : What Is It, and Should You Try It?

    Jan 11, 2025 10:09 AM EST

    "Who doesn’t need a bit more greenery in their lives? No one, if guerilla gardeners have anything to say about it. Whether activists, do-gooders, or just plain old lovers of beauty, guerilla gardeners have been sprucing up neglected corners of the world for quite some time. #JohnnyAppleseed, introducer of apple trees to many states in the US, was one of the OG guerilla gardeners (and yes, he was a real person).

    "Despite what its name might imply—guerilla means 'little war' in Spanish—guerilla gardening has nothing to do with war or destruction, and everything to do with creation. So what exactly is this ironically titled type of gardening, and is it something you should consider doing in your own community?

    What Is Guerilla Gardening?

    "Essentially, guerilla gardening is the act of gardening (planting flowers, trees, fruits, vegetables, etc.) in areas where you are technically not authorized to do so. According to Sonya Shikhman, a lawyer at Bytensky Shikhman Barristers, 'many see it as environmental activism, bringing greenery into urban environments where traditional gardening may not be possible.'

    "This form of gardening is often used to revamp empty lots and other less-than-appealing spaces and create areas that look beautiful and/or produce food for the community. Other aims and benefits include 'improving air quality, increasing biodiversity, and giving local residents a sense of ownership and pride,' Shikhman says."

  13. The Growing Popularity of #GuerillaGardening

    Urban guerilla gardeners are taking direct action against the neglect of public spaces.

    "What used to be something of a fringe activity with decidedly illicit undertones has quickly become a mainstream subject and activity. Guerilla gardening is being used to reclaim community spaces, rejuvenate urban areas, and encourage more connection with nature. It’s a phenomenon that gets more popular every year.

    "Ever spotted some beautiful plants growing where you least expect them? There’s a good chance that what you've seen is the result of guerilla gardening. Whether it’s a political statement or an attempt to get closer to nature, guerilla gardeners are all around us. And they’re not going away.

    [...]

    "On the surface, guerilla gardening is very much against the law. It’s trespassing on someone else's property. Even if you’re making the property better, guerilla gardeners don’t have any legal right to do so.

    "Seed bombing, where the guerilla gardeners pack seeds into a lump of moist soil or compost and throw those ‘seed grenades’ into otherwise inaccessible spaces, is also illegal. Even if you don’t step foot on the property, those seed bombs still class as trespass.

    "However, guerilla gardening is a criminal activity that's often overlooked by the law. In this research study, based on a group of UK guerilla gardeners, the phrase ‘normalized law breaking’ is commonly used. The study argues that guerilla gardening is largely accepted, and perhaps even welcomed, even by local law enforcement. In LA, a guerilla gardener even managed to have the law changed, so that residents could garden on city property without a permit.

    "And something is satisfying about that. When guerilla gardening can transform urban spaces, and beautify those urban sites that are otherwise grotesque and devoid of local wildlife, it’s hard to be critical of those that carry out their seed bombing and abandoned site transformations."

  17. Went to drop off an aloe cutting for a neighbourhood guerrilla gardener. She's waging war with the city council, warding off the council's tractors with wooden stakes, standing up to the drivers, and multiple phone calls. It's an ongoing battle and if she relaxes even a bit it would all get mown into shreds, she's a real warrior.

    If it wasn't for her this stretch of land would be a sandy wasteland growing only grass and devil thorns. As it is, I've spotted a grey heron walking around in it the other day, which must mean the smaller critters are flourishing too, for it to be hunting there.

    The wooden cross is for a tree she planted that got stolen. She still mourns it.

    The people who live on the other side of the road got infected with the guerrilla gardening virus too, and planted a whole row of aloes that are all flowering now.

  18. @zoltan it’s so frustrating. I recorded video of it and tried to report the bug but it turns out #GuerillaGames doesn’t want anyone contacting them, afaict

  19. Trying to budget for winter sun hols. Plants are a weakness, but I’ve been to Wilko to get seeds, which will work out much cheaper than buying plants. #truglife

    Also got a wild flower seed box, which I’ve shaken all over my wild patch at the front. There’s loads left so will fill my pockets and scatter as I walk around the neighbourhood 😂 #GuerillaGardening
