You’ve heard of the sometimes-subversive art of guerrilla marketing. But it’s got nothin’ on guerrilla gardening: One group’s valiant attempts to improve public landscapes with illicit cultivation.

Guerrilla Communication defines it less prettily, but in a way we lay folk can understand: gardening on someone else’s land without permission. (Does that come with guerrilla maintenance? Because last we heard, freshly-planted acacias get just as dead as whatever was there before.)

Nice. Very Green Samaritan. Now what I could use is a super-awesome guerrilla room-cleaner.
