Mainstream Guerrilla Gardening
The idea of Guerrilla gardening is a wonderful and very positive form of direct action. Improving the dreary world the powers that be expect us to live in, by planting things, that will flourish in grey and unloved parts of (mostly) urban areas.
This is for the most part a very good activity and can bring communities together in a wholly creative and uniting way.
Whilst I fully support such activities; I am about conserving and propagating native species and mostly in the country side. Mostly I work alone, but I do get quite a bit of help, even if that just means that people save me the more unusual weeds from their gardens, so I can go and plant them in some hedge somewhere.
I believe that we have to all work together to make this planet into the Utopian paradise it was meant to be. I mean the choice is;
- Don't try to be an idealist
- Always aim for perfection
I know which one I'd choose.
How about you?
