Guerrilla Gardening

So it's not exactly goat related, but....what a great idea!!
This NYT article follows Richard Reynolds, author of "On Guerrilla Gardening" on one of his late night gardening excursions in London. Apparently this illegal movement is growing in popularity around the UK but it got it's start in NYC in the 1970s. I really admire the idea of cultivating a space, any space, especially if it's rundown, ugly and unused. Of course I'm also drawn to the subversive nature of the movement. It's illegal because you're gardening on someone else's land without permission.
There's a website with forums for people who are interested. If you're in the Columbus, Ohio area, look me up and let's get out there and garden!
