Annual flowers — zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, poppy, and larkspur — will come up and bloom in a rugged spot without attention. Perennial coneflowers, bee balm, and black-eyed Susans tolerate drought and neglect, bloom for weeks, and provide seeds for birds and nectar for butterflies.
Guerrilla gardening is the act of gardening – raising food, plants, or flowers – on land that the gardeners, do not have the legal rights to cultivate, such as abandoned sites, areas that are not being cared for, or private property. It encompasses a diverse range of people and motivations, ranging from gardeners who spill over their legal boundaries to gardeners with a political purpose, who seek to provoke change by using guerrilla gardening as a form of protest or direct action. This practice has implications for land rights and land reform; aiming to promote re-consideration of land ownership in order to assign a new purpose or reclaim land that is perceived to be in neglect or misused. Some gardeners work at night, in relative secrecy, in an effort to make the area more useful or attractive, while others garden during the day for publicity.
