guerrilla gardeners reclaim some land to grow food!

yesterday a group of people from saturday clubs dosummat reclaimed some land to make a nice space that is now a garden.










we found a nice spot of disused land by princess parkway, next to some billboards (which we hoped the garden would detract attention away from) and cleared bags and bags of rubbish. Then we set to work planting trees, herbs, flowers and plants. It was mucho fun.

This was part of dosummat's month about food, we wanted to reclaim disused land and make use of it to grow things we can eat.

The garden will be sustainable as we plan to upkeep it as much as we can, and we welcome others to make use of it.
