- Guerrilla Gardening : Why People Garden without Boundaries
"We fight not with guns, but with flowers(우리는 총대신 꽃으로 싸운다)"
한밤중, 버려진 땅에 처음으로 꽃을 심을 때만 해도 리처드 레이놀즈는 자신이 게릴라 가드너의 선봉이 되리라고는 생각도 하지 못했다. 공공장소를 무시하고, 흉물스러운 도시 한 구석을 무관심하게 바라보는 세력과 맞서 싸우게 될 줄은 꿈도 꾸지 못했던 것이다. 더욱이 자신이 범세계적인 운동의 선두에 서리라고는! 하지만 그는 곧 '조용한 혁명'의 중심에 서게 된다. 전 세계에 퍼져 있던 게릴라들이 자신이 경험한 각종 '꽃 심기 전투'의 경험을 나누기 위해 그가 만든 블로그GuerrillaGardening.org에 마구 쳐들어오기 시작한 탓이다. 그리고 얼마 안 가 이 블로그는 전국 방방곡곡에서 활동 중인 게릴라 가드너들의 베이스캠프가 되었다. 거기서는 황무지를 꽃밭으로 만들 '씨앗폭탄'이 제조되고, 바람처럼 빠르고 조용하게 작전을 수행할 수 있는 '전투 노하우가' 오고간다. 우리의 삶을 황폐하게 만드는 모든 것에 작지만 꾸준한 노력으로 대항하는 사람들, 자연을 배제한 건축과 무분별한 도시계획에 염증을 내는 의식 있는 전문가들, 그리고 자급자족 원칙에 따라 소박한 삶을 가꾸기 원하는 그린 전사들에게 그는 힘찬 위로의 씨앗이 될 것이다.
When Richard Reynolds planted a flower on unused small plot in the middle of night for the first time in his life, he never expected to be on the forefront of the "Guerrilla Gardening" movement. He had never thought of fighting against the forces that didn't care public spaces and cast a nonchalant look at abandoned corners of ever-sprawling cities. Nor had he dreamed of being at the vanguard of a global movement. But soon he stood at the center of a "silent revolution," as guerrillas around the world raided his blog GuerrilaGardening.org to share their story of flower-planting. There are people standing up against things that make our life dry and dull with small but steady endeavor, concerned experts who find the architecture with no consideration of nature and reckless urban planning sick and tired, and the green troops who wish to lead simple and harmonious life. Richard Reynolds is the seed of consolation and hope for these people.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
'퍼뜨릴만한 가치가 있는 아이디어'라는 정신의 TEDx 행사는 지역에서 사람들이 함께 모여 TED와 같은 경험을 나누고자 자발적으로 만든 프로그램입니다. TEDx 행사에서는 TEDTalks 영상과 실제 발표자의 강연이 결합되어 깊이있는 토론과 교류가 일어납니다. 이렇게 지역기반의 자생적으로 조직된 행사가 TEDx이며, 여기서 x는 독립적으로 조직된 TED 이벤트라는 것을 의미합니다. TED 컨퍼런스는 TEDx 프로그램에 대한 일반적인 가이드라인만 제공하며, 각각의 TEDx 이벤트는 자체적으로 조직되었습니다.

There is another reason for guerilla gardening and that is to support local wild bees and butterflies that disappear more and more. Thats why some people use seedbombs to spread local wild flowers.
But it can also cause ecological damage: it is not true that every urban grass patch is low diversity and not really doing anything. Some can be remnants of rare grasslands.
I like looking at and identifying some of the plants that get a chance to grow on the edge of grass. In the roundabout example
Where land is unloved and bleak, then growing something beautiful makes it pleasant for humans, but more than that, it supports the pollinators that we all rely on.
Exactly the point
Well, a high-vis vest, some traffic cones and ten minute breaks now and then, and you could easily do this during the day
And get noticed by the police
@@InMooseWeTrustjust act like you belong 😎
Thanks Richard you inspired me to create gardens in Union City nj
We need to be planting food… forest trails that get adequate sun, park edges, round a bouts just outside of cities, empty lots, etc. Fresh food SHOULD BE FREE
That's it, I'm going to plant some apple trees
So, did you plant them?
@@georgecarlin2656 yep
@@ceili did you use clones or seeds?
@@davidkelly4210 Seedlings
@@ceili actual seedlings or young clones? Apples don't grow true so if they started from seed, you'll just get crab apples.
If people sow and grow food, it will be much more than expression and entertainment.
Exactly. Flowers are great and we need them, but planting fresh food is the action of a real renegade
Such a great idea, im doing it in my area, only im lucky because i dont live in a town which is built beside a small valley which is 'looked after' by the local council, all they do is chop down the occasional tree and most of the trees are bloody sycamores and everywhere is covered with ivy and brambles and theres barley a flower or a nice tree is sight, its about time we all got planting.
However, ivy is incredibly important for wildlife as are brambles.
I love it, You are the best
I am doing this . When the beginning I planted the plants . But I found it very hard to carry water from home. Now I plant seeds . All kinds flowers , fruits seeds . I plant them in ground . Just wait rain . God bless !
awesome job!
❤👍
Great work ! Thank you !
I do guerilla mushroom spreading
Excellent
I'm down
I’m trying to find perennials to plant so that I don’t have to keep seeding them.
Shame to waste all that energy on flowers when people need fruits and vegetables.
We also need native plants to feed the pollinators that help grow the fruits and vegetables. Nothing is being "wasted" on flowers.
@@sierramccharlie Didn't know they're natives. Point for you.
We are the criminals 🤣😂🤣
Once I planted a surplus rose of sharon cutting( that I got from my grandad) in a rose of sharon spaced hole in a scruffy municipal bed in Oldham. It did well for two years until the council strimmed the life out of it whilst tidying the neglected bed up for HRH Prince Charles' visit of the Groundwork project up the road. Only I know that. Seriously though Guerrilla? Lets take the politics out of gardening and for that matter, Britain.
His excitement is cute, but his prospective is almost painfully WASP. I'm not sure just anybody could get away with doing this.
Ron Finley
He does live in England, but yeah, marginalisation intersects with a lot so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a problem here too.
So far I am getting away with it in Virginia.
has anyone else realized he has stolen this speech from Ron Finley?! good for RR for promoting this movement, but he never once credits Mr. Ron Finley.
He stole it from someone else ... It would be nice to mention him though, yes - I agree. People have been doing this forever and it is always good for techniques, methods, inspiration to be mentioned again.
In my country gardening is a tradition and big majority of house owners grows vegetables for own use. In almost every city there are areas which were deserted or are rented by farmers and people from city made gardens there, some places are cultivated this way for 50 years or more already.. Sometimes the gardens were planted even if the city did not give a permission, in Ljubljana there was a big uproar few years ago when they banished long established gardens on the riverbank... So, the gardening querilla exists in my country for more than half a century, ...I grew up in the city and my family also had such a garden on the outskirts.. And now I live in the country and have my own little farm... there is no better food than the one, you grow yourselves...
@@zdenkamlinaric9137 Absolutely! You are more fortunate than many in cities in the U.S. In some areas, people are forbidden from growing food in their own front yards.
Sometimes, you get lucky. In Texas, it is against the law to mow down the blue bonnets Texas is known for so during their blooming season, they are found all along the roads and in many fields next to roads.
While some seek to prevent us from growing food, others are getting on board, even changing city regulations to permit having hens for eggs (but not roosters) within city limits.
There is one city somewhere in California where the trees along roads are fruit trees that anyone can pick. That is an idea worth spreading.
Wild foraging for fruit, plants and mushrooms is gaining in popularity. So is sneaking some food-bearing food plants into public and private spaces.
Yes, it is true that others have been doing this for decades. Ron Finley is a wonderful example of what persistence and hard work can accomplish. Mr Finley is in California, USA, and likely this young presenter doesn't know about him.
People aren't stealing from anyone. It's about spreading ideas in ever widening circles. And over time, those circles overlap.
Consider being less fearful and you will see that Mr. Finley and this presenter share a common passion, and both want to inspire YOU to go outside and add some beauty and abundance to the world in which you live. No excuses 😉😊.
