Informal Urban Agriculture: The Secret Lives of Guerrilla Gardeners by Melissa Miles explores the world of guerrilla gardening—where individuals transform neglected urban spaces into thriving green areas. The book delves into the stories and motivations behind these clandestine gardeners who work outside official channels to cultivate food and beauty in overlooked areas.
Miles examines various guerrilla gardening projects, revealing how these acts of urban agriculture can challenge conventional notions of property, community, and sustainability. Through interviews, case studies, and vibrant photographs, the book highlights the creativity and resilience of those who engage in this form of informal urban agriculture.
The book serves as both an inspiring exploration of grassroots urban farming and a critical look at the implications of such unauthorized interventions in city landscapes. It’s a celebration of how small, individual actions can collectively make a significant impact on urban environments.
