Have you ever stumbled across a new object or idea? One you think is just insanely cool and brilliant and wonderful...then the very next day you bump into it again, and again because it was always there and you just didnt see it. Well I bumped into such a thing about a week ago, and have seen it three times since. It’s called guerrilla gardening. It seems the definitions for it range from slipping onto some public space deep in the night and weeding, planting and sprucing up then slipping away with the rising sun to keeping a pocket full of seeds handy at all times and flinging them to the breeze whenever you encounter a plain patch of dirt. My introduction to the concept was somewhere in the middle with an article on ‘seed bombs’’ an ingenuous mix of peat and clay, seeds and compost that is rolled into balls and dried, giving each batch of seeds a head start on beautifying urban ugly. Imagine the outcome if each person left just one of these at their favorite city corner, bus stop or park gate. Imagine the smiles that one little blooming plant might bring and then stop imagining and just do it!
