Your guide to becoming a green-fingered vigilante - transforming your neighbourhood's neglected corners into bright pockets of plant life.

Follow the 7-step action plan, packed with expert advice, illustrated how-to's, and tales of 'how we did it' from around the world.

Ellen Miles is an activist spearheading a new wave of guerrilla gardening. Rooted in social justice and climate action, this growing movement needs you. So, whether you want to boost biodiversity, bring people together, create beauty, grow food, or make a political statement, it's time to Get Guerrilla Gardening.
