  • Fall Guerilla Gardening
    Just because summer's winding down doesn't mean that guerilla gardeningneeds to slow down anytime soon! Fall is actually the ideal time to plant all kinds of flower bulbs and seed that will sleep sweetly all winter and spring up next March or April, and there are plenty of vegetables that do best after a winter slumber as well. From crocuses and daffodils to peas and asparagus, this is an ideal time to pre-sow some beauty around town, so let's take a look at some of the best species for guerilla gardening goodness that can put to  best effect this season....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/guerrilla-gardening-strategies-for-greening-the-hood/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
    1
  • Crocuses
    Inexpensive crocus bulbs do well in any climate, and are the first to appear in springtime. They come in dozens of different hues, and self-propagate easily.
    2
  • Autumn Bulbs
    Planting bulbs before the first frost will allow them to hibernate all winter.
    3
  • pothole_garden_01-by-Pete-Dungey
    Take advantage of little clumps of earth near buildings, as well as sidewalk cracks, vacant lots, and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/artist-pete-dungey-turns-potholes-into-guerrilla-gardens/">other neglected public spaces</a>.
    4
  • Public Strawberries
    Strawberries are perennial, will self-propagate with ease, and are both delicious and beautiful.
    5
  • Sidewalk-Flowers
    Creeping flowers like phlox are perfect for ground cover, and thrive in poor soils.
