Guerrilla gardeners
|
Horticulturalist and activist Richard Reynolds is on a mission to bring to our awareness the potential of the unused, abandoned and unloved garden spaces of our cities. His city is London. At night he and his team drive, walk, or cycle to 'their' abandoned lot—which could be simply an unruly sidewalk of weeds struggling through concrete or a traffic roundabout—and the action starts. Out come the daisies or lavender or Californian poppies—whatever is in season—and their night of guerrilla gardening has begun.
