A fun guide to public planting with purpose, encouraging people to make urban communities greener, healthier and happier

Learn how to green your community in this fun, step-by-step book on guerrilla gardening!

Guerrilla gardening is the art and science of planting in a public place with a purpose. Whether you want to boost biodiversity, grow food, clean the air or empower a community, you can join this new wave of a movement that combines grassroots direct action with flower power!

How do you know which plants are right for the plot, or how to rustle up like-minded locals? Follow Ellen Miles's 6 Ps of guerrilla gardening to find out- purpose, place, plan, people, parts, plant. Sow wildflower seeds in a city tree bed or turn an abandoned lot into a community allotment, tackling climate change and social inequality as you go.

This is a collaboration between young guerrilla gardeners, ecologists and horticulturists, such as Poppy Okotcha, Tayshan Hayden-Smith and Hafsah Hafeji. Full of photographs of inspiring transformations, and step-by-steps of DIY projects, this book makes collective action straightforward and fun.

Whether you want to create a planter from a can or turn a phone booth into a herb garden, this book gives you the tools to transform lifeless patches of public land into vibrant pockets of plant-life.
