Los Angeles…Get Up and Grab Your Watering Can.
This is the most up lifting thing I’ve seen in a long time. Guerrilla Gardening has started in LA.
People are taking to public land and planting new gardens. The city it just too big for for the city works to keep up on public space beautification.
Before
After
I really hope this catches on. This city has so many people in it, we could all make a change in how our streets look.
Thank you guerrilla gardening, I hope you start a revolution.
Coming from the spic and span street of glittering Mission Viejo, to the east side of Los Angeles where the past time consists of throwing trash on the sidewalk it is nice to see some people care about how our public spaces look. Every time I go visit my parents, I am greatly shocked at how freaking clean and well landscaped their city is. I’d take light rail and subways over new gardens any day, so I hope the city is saving their pennies for those projects. But until then, I hope they leave the guerrilla gardening alone, and if not encourage more acts of hoein’.
(plus, nice use of a Banksy graffiti image as their logo)

this is amazing. I’m happy that something positive is happening in a world where it’s sometimes hard to breathe.
maybe we should plan a whateves guerilla gardening adventure! we’ll plant .99 store plants in a public place!!!
Great Idea.
SIMON!!! I forgot to ask you, how did the Guerilla Gardening go? You better not have just eaten those pumpkin seeds. Being as Tara hates glorious orange pumpkins, it did not go so well with her.
moose stomped all over most of them. there’s two growing quite well so there’s still hope!!!
