I was so touched, impressed and influenced by what they did, which was something between the Basingstoke roundabout nasturtiums and what the Brazilian peasants did. I agree with you that it has to be done sensitively; I'd hate to think of environmental carnage being wreaked by some innocent seeming yet rapacious ornamental being strewn all over the countryside. Mind you, most of those don't need our help anyway :) I have to admit I haven’t read the book, I found out about guerilla gardening from some old school community gardeners who started growing illicitly 30 or 40 years ago.
