Have been reading "On Guerrilla Gardening" by Richard Reynolds. This is going to be very difficult to implement within the university due its illegality. Hopefully we'll be able to get permission from a couple of colleges to cultivate some neglected land of theirs. Reynolds's book is "A handbook for gardening without boundaries." Unfortunately for this project, Oxford University likes its boundaries. Ideally, the project should be up and running by the end of Trinity in time for all the freshers of 2010/2011.
"The battle is gathering pace. Most people own no land. Most of us live in cities and have no garden of our own. We demand more from this planet than it has the space and resources to offer. Guerrilla gardening is a battle for resources, a battle against scarcity of land, environmental abuse and wasted opportunities. It is also a fight for freedom of expression and for community cohesion. It is a battle in which bullets are replaced with flowers (most of the time)." - RR
The birds have started waking up.
