Guerilla Gardeners - fantastic idea

I think this is a fantastic idea like minded people with no axe to grind and nothing to gain join forces and go out find an area of unused/neglected/rubbish tip of a piece of ground that no one cares for and in the middle of the night transform it into a "garden" It appears as of yet they only do "London" from what I can see but it is a brilliant idea.

This is the link to the story by the BBC. Anyone wanting their link to guerilla gardeners PM and I will let you have it then you can see the work they've done. Karen

I'm liking that idea! Similar to what a bunch of skateboarders did over in the US years ago. They started taking bags of cement etc. to a derelict underpass and turned it into a skatepark before anyone could do anything about it!

I believe there's something similar happening in Wales at the moment... Shhhh!

Who pays for all the plants etc, if its themselves, then good on them for doing it.
