This afternoon I was listening to ABC World News Tonight in my IFB while waiting to do a live shot when I heard a story about Guerrilla Gardening. I immediately tweeted looking for potential gorillas in SA. Nicole quickly pointed out my spelling error. There are many areas in my neighborhood that could use some assistance to say the least. I know my yard has never won yard of the month but I atleast keep it clean and trimmed. Ive been tempted many times to grap the weedeater and help some of my lawn challenged neighbors or clean up some of the city right of ways. I know a perfect spot to do a garden but don't have the time or money to fix up the city's property. I have enough stuff I need to do to my own yard first.
The closest I have gotten to Guerrilla Gardening was last summer. My neighborhood association (which has no power or deed restrictions for better and worse) has a sign near one of the entrances of my neighborhood. They did a great job landscaping it in early spring. By summer the weeds were taller than any plants in the flower bed. After a month or so I couldn't stand it anymore. Armed with a garden hoe and trash bags I proceded to rip out the weeds and clean out the flower beds.
If anyone is Guerrilla Gardening in San Antonio, let me know. I just might help out sometime.
