Here's a secret: you don't need a huge terrace to garden - you can green your street! 🏙 🌱 Our cities are full of neglected patches of dirt that could use some love. So if there's one in your street, why not drop a seed? This practice of gardening in abandoned public spaces is known as ‘guerrilla gardening‘ or ‘bewildering‘, and it's a great way to create havens for pollinating insects, foster community, and reduce urban heat. Personally, practicing guerrilla gardening makes me feel like an agent of change in my neighbourhood. It reconnects me to nature, sparks meaningful conversations with neighbours over our shared plants, and allows me to do something I love, regardless of my living space. It can be daunting to get started, but you don't have to do it on your own. At Imagine5 we just released a toolkit with Ellen Miles, walking you through the ins and outs of guerrilla gardening, including videos made by me. Anyone can be a gardener, so grab a trowel and let's dig in together! 🦋 https://lnkd.in/edjxM2Am

Have you ever seen a forgotten dirt patch in your neighborhood and felt there should be more plants? Guerrilla gardening might be for you! Guerrilla gardening is the act of growing plants in your neighborhood's neglected spaces. Our first toolkit, created in collaboration with guerrilla gardener and activist Ellen Miles, walks you through all the essentials. It’s also ideal for giving your own green spaces at home a lift. Where flower power meets people power.

From Garden Troubles to New Opportunities: Our Squirrel Saga. Carla has really embraced gardening. She spent a lot of time planting beautiful flowers and different types of plants in our front yard. While we were on vacation, she kept an eye on her beloved plants using the surveillance cameras we have at home. One day, she noticed that some of her plant pots had been turned over on the porch. Right away, she thought those pesky deer were back and had munched on her plants again. We had already bought some deer repellent spray (yes, that exists!) to protect her garden. But after a quick call to my brother, we discovered it wasn't the deer at all. It was actually squirrels climbing into the plants and causing the mess. This was somewhat of a relief but now, we need to figure out how to keep the squirrels from messing with her garden. My BIG Takeaway: When It Rains It Pours - Opportunity In The Middle Of Obstacles. When things go wrong, they often seem to pile up all at once, right? It can feel like a downpour of challenges! But here's the magic — within every obstacle, there's an opportunity hiding. Instead of worrying, find the silver lining just like we did with Carla's garden. We're now on a mission to outsmart the squirrels, and that's our new adventure. When life gives you trouble, use it as a chance to do something amazing. Embrace the opportunities that come your way! If this story resonated with you, drop a heart below. Let's stay positive and keep growing together. Stay Hungry. Stay Humble.

Imagine you have a small community where only a few people are interested in gardening. Maybe this is what your neighborhood is like today. When you start planting flowers and vegetables in yards and porches, neighbors take notice. They see the beauty and benefits of gardening firsthand, and some of them might decide to give it a try too. As more and more people in the community start gardening, it reaches a tipping point. Suddenly, gardening becomes the norm rather than the exception. People swap seeds, share tips, organize community gardening events, and eat around a table together. The once-small interest in gardening has now transformed into a widespread movement within the community. It’s happening; 55% of households in America are engaged in gardening activities. Just like how small changes can eventually lead to a big shift in society, the individual actions of people planting and tending to their gardens can ultimately lead to a significant cultural change towards regeneration. Never ever underestimate the influence you hold in the way you tend the outdoor spaces around you. You, yes - you,  can initiate a new culture of connection to your community, food, land and regeneration when you start a garden. So if you’ve been on the fence about starting a garden, we’re here to support you in gaining a life skill that you can take with you wherever you go. There’s never been a more important time to actively touch and participate in the regenerative movement.  Spring is here, y’all and the Garden Club begins Monday, April 8!
