About the Solutions

Overview

Guerrilla gardening is an act of activism and focuses on gardening on land that we do not have legal rights to garden in, for example: abandoned, neglected or unused private or public spaces.
By doing so, we are taking direct action for reclaiming land that is underutilized or neglected and promoting food security and sustainability education.

One effective strategy for Guerrilla Gardening is the use of the Seed-Balls (aka Seed-Bombs).
These are made by mixing earth with a high percentage of clay, compost and water, planting the seed deep into the ball, drying it and then throwing it into the area you would like to garden in.
See the video and manual below for detailed explanations on how to make a seed-ball.

The challenge

food security, nutrition, economy, activism, sustainability education, land rights

Guerrilla Gardening is a form of positive activism, to support food growth in areas that are often neglected, abandoned or unused. To do so we can use seed-balls, (aka seed-bombs), to preserve seeds and allow them to remain protected until it is time for them to grow.
