"A good hashtag messes things up. Our hashtags are not the harvested grain in the warehouse, they are the wild seeds dispersed in unknown directions by the violent storm."

#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."

🥥 Well I don't know about #JohnnyAppleseed, MCC, but in both the DC and #Marvel universes I am Johnny Telephone Cord Untangler Seed.
I used to travel the land untangling long telephone cords that had gotten twisted.
I don't get as many assignments as I used to, so mostly I spend my time next to my landline phone reminiscing about my #heyday. 🥥
