I know anything that has the word guerilla in it is for sure cool, so I decided it would be a major supplement to my Google page if I wrote about this new trend that is sweeping the world: guerilla gardening and moss graffiti.

As one website put it: “Armed with trowels, seeds, and vision, the idea is to garden everywhere. Anywhere.” Rock out with your…spout out? Ditches and Hoes? Sorry.

Now don’t think I’m sipping on the proverbial haterade, I really think guerilla gardening sounds like a great idea. For the most part it seems that its a lot of very horticulturally minded citizens (the Guerrilla Gardening website includes the scientific name for each plant) that feel like getting your ya yas out by putting old faithful lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) on a neglected highway. Basically its the Lupine Lady realized.

Who doesn’t need a little green wherever they go? Why is all the city gardening done by the city? Guerrilla gardening seems pretty easy and satisfying. One gardener says that whenever the cops stop him to ask what he’s doing, he just tells them “gardening” and gets left alone. I’m inspired, you’ll soon see the walker looking like this. If you are thinking about getting a green thumb here are some tips.
