A Manualfesto. The term "guerilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transforman an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Modern-day Johnny Appleseeds (guerrilla gardeners) perform random acts of gardening, often without the property owners' prior knowledge or permission. The concept is simple, and whimsical with the cheeky appeal of being a not-quite-legal call to action. Dig in some soil, plant a few seeds, or mend a sagging fence. Social activists, city dwellers and long-time gardeners will delight in this fast-paced and funny call to arms. 236 pages.
