Guerrilla gardening is one of the most beautiful organizations I have ever heard of. A friend sent me a link to their site a long while back, and I was amazed and touched by their concept and concern.
These wonderful people come across a bare traffic island, a poorly landscaped park or a neglected planter, and take over! You can see before and after photos showing a cruddy little section of public property transformed into a wonderful little oasis. The first time I looked at their site it seemed they did their gardening at night and in secret. Now it looks like they aren't as sneaky about it and you can see photos of happy people planting during the day.
Checking out their site now, I am excited to see that it has expanded and that more troops have joined from around the world! If you go to the community section, you can search for established communities that you can join. If you don't see your own city listed [or a near by city], start one!
If anything, please check out their website and maybe even help by donating plants, gardening tools or money to buy plants and gardening tools.
