Guerilla Gardening

Facts, tips and ideas about Guerilla Gardening — and how to find people for it.

  • Guerrilla gardening began in 1973 in New York — Liz Christy and her “Green Guerrillas” threw seed bombs into abandoned lots on the Lower East Side. Today one of those gardens — the Liz Christy Garden — is an official city park.
