People are just discovering the concept of ‘guerilla gardening’ and they love it

We hadn’t come across the concept of ‘guerilla gardening’ before and very possibly you haven’t either.

This 20-second guide just went wildly viral on Reddit and people totally loved it (well, most people did).

Nice! Although people’s enthusiasm came with an important caveat, best summed up by this person.

‘Be sure to use endemic species if you do this. Don’t start another invasion

‘Edit: just to be clear; I’m not saying the guys in this video are using invasive species. I’m saying if you’re gonna try this, great! But be sure to use species that are native to your area.

‘A lot of people have pointed out that these guys are using native species! That’s awesome.’

It wasn’t the only practical tip.

‘For hard to reach places, e.g. empty lots behind fences and busy roadsides, use “seed bombing”. Put marigold, zinnia, poppies, or other easy grow seeds native to your area (and/or that will be killed off in winter) in a mud ball and toss it in to the place you would like to see flowers growing. Very satisfying.’
