Common examples of such locations include broken pavements with missing slabs, wasteland and the central areas of roundabouts.</p><p>"Although much of this land is already open for the public to walk over, actively gardening on it would become an act of trespass.</p><p>"The law of trespass sounds scary. However, gardening on this land would be a breach of civil law rather than a crime. This means that most guerrilla gardeners are unlikely to receive a fine or a criminal record.</p><p>"Landowners do have the legal right to use 'reasonable force' to remove trespassers from their land. But, fortunately, it seems most councils have ignored guerrilla gardeners, having neither the time, money or inclination to bring legal action against them.</p><p>"Colchester Council, for example, were unable to track down the identity of the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanShrub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanShrub</span></a>', a mysterious <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EcoActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcoActivist</span></a> who restored the flowers in the city’s abandoned plant containers in 2009. The shrub returned again in 2015 and sent a gift of seeds to a local councillor.</p><p>"In other areas of the UK, the work of guerilla gardeners has been cautiously welcomed by local councils. In Salford, a city in Greater Manchester, there is a formal requirement to submit an application and obtain permission to grow on vacant spots in the city. But the local authority tends not to interfere with illegal grow sites.</p><p>"There seems to be an unwritten acceptance that people can garden wherever they want, given the abundance of available space and the lack of active maintenance. This also offers the additional advantage of saving both time and money for the local council.</p><p>"You should still be careful about where you trespass though. In some areas, guerrilla gardening can lead to unwelcome attention. During the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MayDayRiots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MayDayRiots</span></a> of 2000, for example, guerrilla gardeners were accused of planting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cannabis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cannabis</span></a> seeds in central <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>London</span></a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ParliamentSquare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParliamentSquare</span></a>.</p><p>"Gardening at night may draw the wrong attention too, particularly if you are carrying gardening tools that might be misunderstood by the police as threatening weapons."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://theconversation.com/guerilla-gardening-how-you-can-make-your-local-area-greener-without-getting-into-trouble-213037" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/guerilla-g</span><span class="invisible">ardening-how-you-can-make-your-local-area-greener-without-getting-into-trouble-213037</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/NHZyu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/NHZyu</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rewilding</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReclaimingSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReclaimingSpaces</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MayDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MayDay</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningForPollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GardeningForPollinators</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a></p>

No one, if guerilla gardeners have anything to say about it. Whether activists, do-gooders, or just plain old lovers of beauty, guerilla gardeners have been sprucing up neglected corners of the world for quite some time. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JohnnyAppleseed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JohnnyAppleseed</span></a>, introducer of apple trees to many states in the US, was one of the OG guerilla gardeners (and yes, he was a real person).</p><p>"Despite what its name might imply—guerilla means 'little war' in Spanish—guerilla gardening has nothing to do with war or destruction, and everything to do with creation. So what exactly is this ironically titled type of gardening, and is it something you should consider doing in your own community?</p><p>What Is Guerilla Gardening?</p><p>"Essentially, guerilla gardening is the act of gardening (planting flowers, trees, fruits, vegetables, etc.) in areas where you are technically not authorized to do so. According to Sonya Shikhman, a lawyer at Bytensky Shikhman Barristers, 'many see it as environmental activism, bringing greenery into urban environments where traditional gardening may not be possible.'</p><p>"This form of gardening is often used to revamp empty lots and other less-than-appealing spaces and create areas that look beautiful and/or produce food for the community.

Guerilla gardening is being used to reclaim community spaces, rejuvenate urban areas, and encourage more connection with nature. It’s a phenomenon that gets more popular every year.</p><p>"Ever spotted some beautiful plants growing where you least expect them? There’s a good chance that what you've seen is the result of guerilla gardening. Whether it’s a political statement or an attempt to get closer to nature, guerilla gardeners are all around us. And they’re not going away.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"On the surface, guerilla gardening is very much against the law. It’s trespassing on someone else's property. Even if you’re making the property better, guerilla gardeners don’t have any legal right to do so.</p><p>"Seed bombing, where the guerilla gardeners pack seeds into a lump of moist soil or compost and throw those ‘seed grenades’ into otherwise inaccessible spaces, is also illegal. Even if you don’t step foot on the property, those seed bombs still class as trespass.</p><p>"However, guerilla gardening is a criminal activity that's often overlooked by the law. In this research study, based on a group of UK guerilla gardeners, the phrase ‘normalized law breaking’ is commonly used. The study argues that guerilla gardening is largely accepted, and perhaps even welcomed, even by local law enforcement. In LA, a guerilla gardener even managed to have the law changed, so that residents could garden on city property without a permit.</p><p>"And something is satisfying about that. When guerilla gardening can transform urban spaces, and beautify those urban sites that are otherwise grotesque and devoid of local wildlife, it’s hard to be critical of those that carry out their seed bombing and abandoned site transformations."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://gardenforwildlife.com/blogs/learning-center/guerilla-gardening-and-its-popularity-garden-for-wildlife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gardenforwildlife.com/blogs/le</span><span class="invisible">arning-center/guerilla-gardening-and-its-popularity-garden-for-wildlife</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rewilding</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningForPollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GardeningForPollinators</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GardeningForWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GardeningForWildlife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SeedBombs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SeedBombs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReclaimingSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReclaimingSpaces</span></a></p>

Birdbaths are hazards for many pollinators because they can easily drown in them and because they are preyed on by other animals.
