Guerrilla Gardening
I'm 5000% behind the idea.
But could someone give me a clue as to why people on this thread are talking about doing this "at night".
People rooting around in bushes, at the dead of night in Sydenham Approach, one of them with large cine camera, may give passers-by entirely the wrong idea! Could these people be up to some of those things you only hear about on late night TV they may ask!
"I was only putting in some bedding plants officer," isn't the line that I would want to use in these circumstances.
(And just in case people get the wrong idea - I only came upon that Channel 4 programme Sex in the Naughty Noughties by pure mistake. I was in fact looking for the late night arts channel hoping to catch up on some news from the Edinburgh Festival)
Can someone run me quickly through the theory and practice of guerrilla gardening please? Why can't you just plant out flowers at 3pm on Sunday afternoon like everyone else does?

Monday night 8pm at the Dolphin is fine for me. I'll bring a bit of lavender from my garden so people will find our table otherwise we might be in the embarrassing situation of having to ask everyone who comes into the Dolphin if they are guerrilla gardeners as I'm assuming we won't necessily be able to distinguish them from other Sydenham citizens.
I'm thinking we all dress up in camouflage clothing and face paint and commando roll into the pub.....jackie wrote:Monday night 8pm at the Dolphin is fine for me.
