How cute! And the narrator talking like their drug smugglers or something, really funny!

Seriously though, around here we have neighborhood folks that plant their local traffic circles with plants (and some veggies too!). The municipalities actually encourage it though. Taking ownership of your neighborhood. Very cool!

Sadly, there was an article this past summer of someone who regularly tended one of those traffic circles that was beaten to death during an altercation of people taunting him for caring for the plants. Very very sad.

Still, it's a worthy endeavor! And a funny video.

Thanks for sharing.

I did just a tiny bit of guerilla gardening this past year...the area behind my neighbor's garage is a huge mess. I received tons of seeds in swapping this past spring and I just kept tossing them over the fence. It looked a whole lot better! Kim

I have a bunch of spots I Guerilla Garden. I planted a bunch of cukes on chainlink fence. A huge number of wildflowers. Next it is propagating grapes. I want to try and turn my neighborhood into a Vinyard!
