Guerilla Gardening Greens the City
Jun 4th, 2008 by Jervey
Gothamist gives some ink (errr, pixels?) to the seeming reemergence of guerilla gardening in the city.
The worldwide Guerrilla Gardening movement has been around in some form for quite a while, in New York the Green Guerillas even took over a vacant lot on Bowery in the 70s. Since then some residents of the city have been embracing the idea of secretly beautifying the landscape and beginning their own guerrilla groups here. There’s solo mission seed bombings and joining community tilling troupes like Bushwick’s Trees Not Trash…but what about the more “illicit cultivation,” the more underground nocturnal planting.
