Wilton Community Herb Garden

Campbell, California

"Guerrilla gardening is the act of gardening on land that the gardeners do not have the legal rights to utilize, such as an abandoned site, an area that is not being cared for, or private property. It encompasses a diverse range of people and motivations, ranging from gardeners who spill over their legal boundaries to gardeners with political influences who seek to provoke change by using guerrilla gardening as a form of protest or direct action. This practice has implications for land rights and land reform; aiming to promote re-consideration of land ownership in order to assign a new purpose or reclaim land that is perceived to be in neglect or misused..."

When I first heard of Guerrilla Gardening, I knew I needed to start one. Just before going in for hip replacement surgery (Ouch! Feb 2014) I dug up some ground below my Little Free Library and planted a small herb garden. It is my intention to share with the neighbors, to make it bigger when I can dig with a shovel a bit more and when I see what the local reaction is.

Photos of the Herb Garden a couple weeks after Gwen and I planted them. (March 2014)
