Guerrilla Gardening,

Seven years ago i started a project to create a avenue of willow trees along the edge of the local cycle path, The idea being that each year hard wood cuttings would be taken and progressively extended along. On learning that the land had been earmarked for housing development i abandoned it realizing that everything would go by the way of the bulldozer. But i do feel it was successful settled on a more mundane project of seed raised foxgloves at the local pond.

I think that's just the perfect example of proper guerilla gardening, well done, Old Twig! Hope the foxgloves thrive and spread for you at the pond, it sounds lovely! I hope everyone appreciates them...and you!
