Indeed. The video clips are great. We may not have the cleavage of Charlie Dimmock but I think there is positive mischief making to be had with gardening gloves on. The Manifesto in green. Did you know that the (very overused) word ‘guerilla’ derives from the Spanish Civil War when peasant republicans fought to save their land? Now we can reclaim our urban landscape with flowers and vegetables. A sort of ‘For whom the bell tolls’… with watering cans and trowels.
I made some initial enquiries and there is a Garden Guerillas ‘Edinburgh Board’ with recent activity: http://guerrillagardening.org/community/index.php?topic=65.0
I’ll try to make contact with existing guerillas and see how to take it forward. Leith seems an ideal venue to sustain the momentum.
