Summary
"If you've ever wandered past a scrubby vacant lot and imagined how beautiful it could look with flowers or food crops or trees, you may have the heart of a guerrilla gardener. To the delight of many urban dwellers, random acts of gardening, with or without permission, are springing up everywhere. The appeal is great - a convivial way to be a wee bit naughty, get your hands dirty and beautify your neighbourhood." "Guerrilla gardening can be as simple as picking up broken glass and litter or pulling our a few weeds. It can be as involved as organizing a community garden on unused railway land or helping city officials see the appeal of a new park. What began as a non-violent environmental call to arms for inner-city renewal has become the people's choice for urban beautification around the world. Boulevards, railway land and back alleys have all benefited from the efforts of these modern-day Johnny Appleseeds."--BOOK JACKET.
