Guerrilla gardening is a non-violent action of activists and individualists or environmentalists as a form of political gardening. It is a non-violent direct practice of gardening unlike guerrilla warfare. Guerilla gardeners try to reclaim a land, left alone with neglect or misuse, by cultivating plants and trees.
These guerrilla gardeners work late nights to plant new hybrids, or fruit seedlings, use water cans, gardening gloves, compost. Some work during daytime mixing with local people. Guerilla gardeners secretly plant trees, fruits or flowers along side roads and bike trials.
Guerrilla gardening has a long history. John F. Adams has written a book called ?Guerilla gardening? in 1983. He encouraged amateur gardeners in growing different varieties of plants not made by corporate hybridizations. Apple trees growing alongside the banks of canals in Utah, asparagus growing alongside ditch banks are the result of sowing done by workers centuries ago who dug the canals and ditch banks. They did either intentionally or simply have thrown the remnants of lunch along the banks.
Guerilla gardening still continues in the modern times by individuals sowing seeds along the roads and parks, intentionally or as food for emergency.
