A2: Guerilla Gardening

Michigan Radio reports on a “guerilla gardening” operation led by Lisa Waud, owner of Pot and Box in Ann Arbor. She is usually solicited to do landscaping for people, but on Tuesday, Waud is planning free landscaping. “The idea,” she says, “is to take back neglected or abandoned land.” She and anyone interested will meet Tuesday night – the location will be revealed via Waud’s Facebook and Twitter networks– to plant flowers in patches of plain dirt. “I’ve always really loved the idea of graffiti and street art,” explains Waud, “and [guerrilla gardening] is a more acceptable version of that.” [Source]
