Reynolds, R. On guerrilla gardening, 2008: synopsis (when Richard Reynolds began planting flowers secretly at night outside his tower block, he had no idea he was part of a growing global movement committed to combating the forces of neglect, land shortage and apathy towards public spaces)

Wikipedia WWW site, Feb. 18, 2009 (Guerrilla gardening: political gardening, a form of nonviolent direct action, primarily practiced by environmentalists. It is related to land rights, land reform, and permaculture. Activists take over ("squat") an abandoned piece of land which they do not own to grow crops or plants. Guerrilla gardeners believe in re-considering land ownership in order to reclaim land from perceived neglect or misuse and assign a new purpose to it; the term guerrilla gardening is applied by some quite loosely to describe different forms of radical gardening)

Guerrilla Gardening website, Feb. 18, 2009 (Getting started: There is neglected orphaned land all over the place. Pockets of resistance have broken out in some areas as guerrilla gardeners fight back to reclaim this precious resource and cultivate it)

Here are entered works on gardens created, often illegally, on abandoned or unused land to make an environmental and political statement on land use, land ownership, and land rights.
