About 15 years ago my kid was given a picture book called The Curious Garden about a little boy who practices guerilla gardening in NYC which eventually grows (via community action) into to the High Line Garden.
Ever since then I’ve tried to keep packets of native wildflowers on me. There are a lot of semi-overgrown and underutilized areas where I live, and I can think of a few spots now that have regular outbreaks of wildflowers because I happened to be passing by one day.
That book sounds awesome! I’ve been guerilla gardening for years and the best tip I’ve learned is to research which native species are most likley to thrive without maintenance in your region. Local conservation websites usually have free guides on this - total game changer for success rates.
My dad’s hoping for the groundskeeping job here which will mean my megalomaniacal plans for gardening and landscaping will start getting official approval.
