Guerrilla Gardening

I grew up in the rust belt of the Midwest in a once great industrial town that barely exists anymore. Some of my family and friends still live there. A small group of them practice what they have called “guerrilla gardening.” They plant gardens in empty lots where houses have been torn down (or burned down).

There is an article in the New York Times Magazine this week on Guerrilla Gardening that reminded me of the strories I have heard from my hometown.
