Guerilla Gardening Frankfurt am Main

🌱 The small warriors in this underground movement fight for freedom and independence, primarily in South America and also in Germany's city centers, against the overwhelming amount of sealed dead space where nothing grows.

🌍 The movement is organized through the internet, with around 19,000 groups from 40 countries registered on their website.

💥 Illegal planting campaigns have caused damage to the environment, as non-native plants were introduced.

💡 The movement raises questions about the species diversity and where they source their seeds and plants, with some obtaining them from commercial traders.

🚲 They have also utilized creative methods such as laying out a 250-meter garden in the middle of a busy street to reclaim nature in city centers.

🌿 The core group consists of ten members who regularly tend to the planted areas, ensuring the removal of asphalt and maintaining the green spaces.

📣 The movement strives to create a connection between urban residents and nature, but they face challenges such as conflicting opinions on plant species and height restrictions imposed by authorities.
