Guerrilla Gardening

The LA Times has a great article about a movement called guerrilla gardening. Basically, people stealthily plant neglected public areas for the purpose of making the environment more appealing for everyone. Guerrilla gardening movement proponents call it a “form of protest and direct action” and “urban ecological subversion“, but I call it good, clean (if not totally legal) fun. I wonder if there are Swiss Army-style garden tools that fit easily into pockets and are good for this kind of hit-and-tun gardening. I will have to do more research into that, but for now, some Guerilla Gardening links:
