GG: 8229 Micah and friends Florida, USA: “Thanks for the inspiration GG!!! Three of us apartment renting college students at the University of Florida in Gainesville decided to spruce up the unused bike rack area in front of our building. All the other tenants love it, especially the ladies. : )”Guerilla gardening

GG: 2686 Luca and team Pezzana, Italy: “We are a team of frends who decided to do some guerrilla in our village. The place is a flowerbed abandoned at the entrance of the village (Pezzana is the name of the village, near Vercelli). We made our job at 11pm of the 30 Oct 2009, with the fog and the cold weather, but it was really funny! We were in 5 people. The marrow was 46 kilos heavy, and it's also the symbol of Pezzana. We are very proud of our job and we want to make another guerrilla action in spring. Ciao from Luca, Patty, Michele, Sandra, Marina and Giuseppe!”Guerrilla gardening in Pezzana, Italy. AFTER

GG: 5526 Crina and 5527 Ionut Bucharest, Romania: “It's the first guerrilla gardening action in Bucharest: we planted grass and flowers on the central boulevard of the capital, near a square at B-dul Magheru on June 23. We were two, the girl in the pictures (Crina 5526) and the guy behind the camera (Ionut 5527). It took almost 1 hour and the little square soon became green! Enjoy your plantings!Crina mid way through guerrilla gardening

Lund Sweden. There's a playground near where I live (city of Lund, southern Sweden), with lots of gaps in the flower beds and an enormous lack of colour. I have previously planted some crocus there, but now it was time for some more action. My cousin Ida came over for dinner, and I asked her to help me plant some pansies along the hedge. The man at the town square had promised to save me 20 pansiesAfter
but he had forgotten, so I had to do a last minute raid to all the central flower shops to find some equally cheap plants. We went out at 5.30 pm and cleared the weeds, dug in some plant soil and planted yellow and dark purple Ida 3713 and Li 3710
pansies. It was all done in less than 30 minutes, and no one stopped to ask what we were doing. There were no children out to play, either. We were very pleased with the result, and hope others will enjoy it too. I will no doubt continue gardening the flower beds around the playground in the future, much can still be done there.
1608 Sophia and 1616 Hannah. Vienna, Austria. Me and my neighbor decided to plant some flowers at a small place in   our street that is normally mistreated by the dogs of the eight   district of vienna. so we went to the supermarket and got some earth and seeds. then we   cleared up the space from dog shit, roots, leaves, cigarettes and   random things like glass and metall screws. i got some plastic   gloves from my university laboratory. we had loads of fun while   digging the whole thing up. The strange thing was that the other   people didn't show much reaction, but actually that's not that   surprising in austria sadly. we hope that people will stop trashing   and respect our effort.
GG: 1557 Elise, Rue Lhomond Paris, France Elise wrote to me with news of two new guerrilla gardens she has planted in Paris.. “My name is Elise. I am a French woman, aged 71. Sometimes last Spring, I heard on one of the French radios a report of your activities. I was immediately delighted and interested, being by nature strongly independent and against any form of authority and conformism. Challenging authority is for me a must (with a wink & great pleasure for doing so !), I know it might sound stupid at my age, but this is so ! So, I immediately sensed that Guerrilla
Gardening was something just for me. In addition, we are in my family (contrarily to most French people) strongly interested in gardening and plants. I lived in the country when I was young, and a link with nature is important to me...”
