From the Series
The growing worldwide guerilla gardening subculture comprises people secretly meeting at night to illegally plant flowers, shrubs and vegetables in neglected urban spaces. Although their actions seem harmless, they are still viewed by the authorities as illegal and prosecutable.
The Subversive Gardener project by Vanessa Harden explores various methods of disguising gardening paraphernalia in everyday attire and accessories, drawing on military and spy gadgets. Harden’s designs allow guerrilla gardeners to integrate their assaults into their everyday routine, secretly dropping seed bombs from handbags on their way to work or planting flowers from seed spurs on their way home.
