We've got this factory at the bottom of our garden, I'd love to train grasses or some sort of wildflower to grow over it, would that even be possible? The tiles are made out of some sort of asbestos and there are quite a lot of birds who frequent the rooftop, any advice would be amazing ...

There is a small trail near my house that I walk almost daily, and during the warmer months, there is at least one native flower blooming along it and the stream next to it. My wife and I love them and have a thing for identifying as many as we can using Google image search and the like.

However, I noticed several new irises that were obviously planted along the trail in the past day or two. This isn’t a super popular trail, so I’m almost certain it wasn’t the city. My concern is that they’re the non-native, invasive yellow iris since a few of those mysteriously popped up this spring.

I plan to live here for a good while, and I would prefer this trail stay as natural/native as possible, not full of a single flower that doesn’t naturally belong. Does anyone here have a suggestion for what to do?

Winter will be in my area soon and we get heavy snowfall. I was wondering if it's possible to deposit seeds before the snow or during it so it will freeze and then unfreeze in spring ready to grow all at once.

Could I discreetly kill off invasive buckthorn in woods near me by cutting the outside of the plant and applying concrete glypphosate to the wound? I'm not going to chainsaw in a woods I don't own but want to kill invasives and stop them from spreading

There's this patch of some kind of Russian thistle (Salsola species) that's pretty widespread amongst other non native weeds found around my area. I'd like to get rid of it, or at least deal with most of it. This takes the cake for being a terrible weed, it's almost entirely in the way save for this small walking path people made. I'm in San Diego County, California, United States.

Any ways to kill it that don't involve the obvious arson or synthetic chemicals? First idea that comes to mind for me is at the very least stomping on it. It's pretty prickly, no way are my hands going to be able to touch the stuff.

Harvested some Eastern hop-hornbeam seeds today. I fell for the hop-like fruits this summer and went back for the seed. We need more of these in Maryland so I will be guerrilla gardening all over my county.

This little cherry tomato found a good spot in the alley. Oregon

Preface: I know this is the opposite of a city government gardening reddit page, but I figured the city government might be the reason you are guerrilla gardening -- so I would love to hear feedback even on the flaws the city has in your area with agriculture that's lead you to gardening without "permission"

--

I am doing a case study and am curious to know any information of the following. It would be helpful if you are able to include the city and/or state you are in--if you're comfortable!

1. How they are maintained?

2. How they are funded?

3. What is the level of involvement with the city government-- are they providing the land, the staff, the maintenance, the programming?

4. What cross-collaboration exists within the city government, community members, non-profits/organizations, extension office, etc. ?

5. What level of involvement does the extension office have?

6. Are they fenced off?

7. Are they on city government-owned properties?

8. Are they in Parks and Recreation spaces? Does Parks and Recreations have any involvement at all?

9. Are plots rented out to individuals and who is responsible for that financial component of the gardens?

Don't feel like you have to respond to every one of these questions, but any information, even to just one question, will be so helpful -- as well as any additional information or questions you think I should be asking.

I am especially interested in hearing about urban agriculture and community gardens within urban cores, but will greatly appreciate any feedback even if you are in a smaller town/city/college town/community/etc.

Thank you!

I am planning a workshop in Southern GA to teach people about guerrilla gardening, and I don’t know if doing a seed bomb making workshop is a good idea. I know they are not the most effective method, so if anyone has any suggestions for seeds that would take well in fall or suggestions for alternative workshop ideas please suggest them.

so i am trying to restore a piece of coast around LA. it is overrun with ice plant, tumble weed, tobacco tree, and fountain grass. i've been rescuing the precious few natives here from the ice plant. i also want to do trash clean up in the area.
i don't think the cops will necessarily bother me here, but it's kind of a weird piece of land. i'm trying to find out who manages it and the legality of removing the invasive plants here, or planting new ones.
i also know little and have little experience. i need resources and people to talk to!! if anyone has experience or advice for me it would be very much appreciated.

Im a dog walker, and ive been working at this golf community but the golf course (MD, USA) is out of business but still mowed and there are nice walking paths. Some of the water traps are mostly dry and unmowable. Ive seen a fox out there twice and deer. Id like to seed bomb the area. When is the best time of the year? Currently i only have sun flower seeds, but I have a seed bomb kit in my cart online with wild bergamont, yarow, black eye susans, and purple cone flowers. Should I get this kit now or wait for the fall?

Is there an easy way to get a list of plants the Native American's grew/cultivated in an area?

Say for Ohio or Virginia?

I have been googling and seem to be coming up short.

I know they did some foraging. So they would have gone after plants like Asimina triloba, Morus rubra, and Typha Angustifolia.

But they also planted areas of maize? Pumpkins? other Squash? Which varieties? What else?

And if the natives cultivated it or grew it in fields, I don't see it as a problem plant.

I love this plant, moths love it, the seeds are delicious and I have the feeling it is quite robust. Does anyone have experience with it in seed bombs?

I want to start off sone Guerrilla Gardening, I am currently a Highschool student so I dont have much money to spend of materials, but I want to try my hardest. Any tips? (State: Maryland)

I've recently started eating apples right to the core just to get full use of the apple/reduce food waste and also it's edible so why not. I've been throwing these apple seeds in the ground but I was wondering if any of these seeds will actually sprout (idk the technical term I just have a vague interest in gardening and plants lol) and grow to an apple tree? I'm sure not all of them will grow but a small percentage of them must be successful? Also, I hope I'm not harming the environment by doing that. I'm in BC and sometimes in Ontario, Canada.

I am planning on planting some kangaroo grass in Victoria for a project. It will most likely be within the Hume or Morland City council regions, probably like a public park or something. I will obviously avoid any protected grasslands or national parks.

My question is how can I know that the introduction of this native seed won't throw an ecosystem out of balance? Does anyone have any expertise in this? I'm into activism but not damaging ecologies.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm in Australia if that wasn't clear.

Tell me of your success stories. I am looking for inspiration, ideas.

And of course, if you have some advice on failures that could be helpful.

FOR ME...

Years ago I was working construction. I used to eat lunch in one spot and toss the apple cores onto some scrub property. Now years later it was developed and they kept my apple tree..... :-)

Then new owners cut it down.... :-(

I am thinking about helping out a property I hunt, hike on. I would like to make it more edible woodsy area.

And then there are train tracks near by...

And there is some government land...

And then there is some place I canoe....

I really “hate” it when landlords (especially of student HMOs) rip out front gardens and lawns and replace it with shingle/gravel. I was wondering if anyone has had any success in reclaiming these areas in a legal & non-confrontational way? I’m guessing random sowing of seeds as I walk by won’t work because it’s gravel on a membrane.
