Some people love gardening, some people hate it. Some can't think of a better day than one spent carefully tending to plants and flowers, while others can't think of anything besides back pain and pointless aesthetics. Both opinions can be valid in their own right, but there is also a place where these two ideas can come together.

A guerilla community garden is a place where real community service and environmental activism happens, but trades in the picket signs and megaphones for seeds and gardening gloves. Through guerilla gardening, communities can grow closer, eat better, and make real progress towards a healthier and more beautiful world for everyone.
