I haven't heard of any such "guerilla gardening" here in Chicago, but if anyone wants to start such an endeavor, count me in...
yeah same! it's super neat.
hehe...reminds of some of the first people I met in San Francisco. It was a bunch of artists in a giant house they all shared in an alley off of the Duboce triangle.
However, instead of planting trees, they would try to make ends meet by stealing small plants and flowers out of Golden Gate Park, repotting them and then selling them.
Please don't flame the messenger.
Hey there,
I'm organizing a GG outing, and all are welcome to join. Probably in the Wicker Park area in the next week. Please drop a line if you're interested.
