almost everywhere there are community gardens where anyone can apply for a plot of land to grow their own plants, yet they often go unattended, weed choked because of lack of interest.

seems these guys are just cloaking their disdain for property rights with a made-up ‘green’ agenda.

slim to no chance seeing them do the WORK, the actual gardening or volunteering to help out an elderly person who can no longer manage the hard work themselves.

they’re more interested in provoking than doing.

Just about the stupidest damn article I have wasted the time reading in my life! No wonder I have never heard of “The College Fix” journal before! Really, Guerilla gardening??? So you break into somebody yard, space, etc. and plant something on their land and what, when it sprouts the owner cuts it all down or sprays it with weed killer!!! What have you accomplished duck head??? These little liberal bad ass wanna bees need to spend more time figuring out how to do something beneficial for society than trying to be radical left wing bad asses at subversive guerrilla eco gardening! What a crock of shit waste of time theory!!!

I heard a lecture from one advocating this approach to create a Utopia for gardening. It was through a local Meet at the park anti lockdown group. It was also advocating straw man law - that the laws of the land do not apply as contract law vs natural law. So don’t pay utilities, or taxes.

He advocated simply squatting on someone else’s land and declaring it no longer belonging to them.

I own land. And tbh most farmers have to put in gates, or dump concrete piles to stop travellers and gypsys illegally occupying their farmland

Because of the increasing popularity of this position I have not allowed anyone to grow anything on my grassland.

In reality, they will hurt themselves as farmers and land owners (not that used simply as set aside investment vehicles), have invested life savings and hard physical work for their lands and they will fight to keep it.

Why should I let someone who’s done nothing to own land come and steal it from me?

And from what I hear of their view of farming as easy - they’re ignorant and downright stupid. 1 Example: they never discuss Agricultural grading. BIG DIFFERENCES in HOW and WHAT you grow on Grade 1A (Loam) vs Grade 3B (heavy Boulder clay).

I feel it's imperative we all learn to grow our own foods, especially with the GMO and MRNA lettuce, tomato, livestock. But, to be fair the conditions become more difficult by the day. Asian beetles deployed to destroy outdoor crops, and few of us posses indoor/rooftop or greenhouse remedies for fruits and veggies and as it pertains to poultry many jurisdictions are rendering it illegal now.

News flash: Latest study out of UCSB suggests (in an hilarious twist of irony) that guerrilla gardeners do indeed make, exceptional fertilizer.

Just remember, YOU won't be able to have your own garden at home but plantifa can take YOUR land and drone drop MRNA corrupted seeds anywhere they want. Depopulation and control. Never bend the knee and never comply. All glory to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Praise Jesus!!

“Guerrilla Gardening’ another Antifa/BLM approach to taking and destroying what isn’t theirs. The city we border has community gardens throughout the city. These so called “gardeners” aren’t in it for producing, but just using their bully tactics to abuse others land and those that own it. What we have to do is stop the WEF/Gates/China from buying America’s farmland, destroying food operations, and livestock and creating this nightmare for us! If we don’t have a revolution to stop this soon they will be successful. Clearly our politicians are in on it or clueless as usual. I volunteer Bill Gates farmland for them to start. We will see how that goes. Colleges have taught these little tyrants well, but try stepping on our land!!! It won’t turn out well! I’ve been fighting poachers for years so I know how this goes and I will be relentless in stopping them! People buy land near larger parcels and think its theirs for the taking! Well they found out otherwise! My new name is “the crazy lady” who lives there! Just because I stopped them from stealing off my land. It’s hysterical when I meet new neighbors and they say, “oh we heard that there’s a crazy lady who owns that back land now. We used to hunt there.” My reply: Oh you mean you poached there because the owners never gave you permission.” Their reply: But it was open land! Me: No, all land is owned by someone but you never bothered to ask permission and that doesn’t mean you would get it. Someone always owns it and pays for it!!! Then I inform them that I am the “crazy lady” and unless I give you permission you are not to trespass on it! Others buy their kids four wheelers or dirt bikes when they have nowhere to ride them and don’t bother to tell them that they can’t go on others land and destroy it! They try to guilt us into allowing them to do it on our land. That ends real quick. We have our own 4 wheelers to head them off at the pass!!! Unfortunately respect for others property and land is dwindling these days.

I don't think this will go well...

Works great. Let them do all the work, then plant them with my backhoe. Il harvest the crop myself.

Young people, who are unfortunately immersed in ideology instead of education at school, will not be able to distinguish this, which is narcissistically engulfing, and thievery, with a patina of glamour as it is "activism" from the movement to garden in places that are unused public lands, like on the borders of freeways, as a way to combat food deserts, where overpriced little stores sell crap food and liquor but no healthy foods.

For the life of me, I could not tell, when reading it, if the article was satirical. It felt like reading the Babylon Bee.

Isn’t that how we became a country in the first place? Appropriating land that was not ours to begin with

Our county (and others) have gardening plots in the park for people to use.
