working bibliography: guerrilla gardening section

This is the start of the bibliography and notes on Guerrilla gardening


Guerilla Gardening: The illicit cultivation of plants in underappreciated green spaces, usually in densely populated urban environments.




Flower Bomb

Check out this new take on the seed bomb. It’s a biodegradable helium balloon painted with the classically kitschy garden gnome. The work of Dutch Studio TX, the seed-filled balloons deflate after a day, landing on the sod attached to the bottom of each balloon.
“Each balloon is made of PLA plastic and painted with 100% water-based
chalk. The balloons take 4-6 months to decompose and leave a burst of
color in their wake.”
