Guerilla Gardening
Unauthorized beautification of public spaces through flower plantings – we called it Guerilla Gardening. I am sure others have done this in the past, but yesterday was my first experience as a “guerilla gardener.” A local florist donated flats of annuals to help beautify the TART bike trail in town. Near Jupiter Park a group of us hauled out our shovels and spades and began digging little flower beds. Bikers and walkers whizzed past and strolled by – almost all told us they were impressed with our plantings. With dirt under my nails and sweat dripping down my face, I stepped back to look at one of our little plots of eclectic flowers. If Guerilla Gardening isn’t already a movement – I hope it becomes one.
