Guerilla Gardening

If you like to garden, you might be interested in the Guerilla Gardening site. The people who run this site are involved in the Guerilla Gardening project—the attempt to have "100 recorded acts of guerilla gardening across four continents by 01 September 2006." Guerilla gardening appears to be defined as members of the public working to beautify a public space with greenery. The main page lists the projects that are currently in the works. They involve such examples as shrubbery at bus stops, flowers put in abandoned planters on streets, and, most hearteningly, a (formerly) secret garden at Guantanamo Bay, started by prisoners with seeds from their meals. If you'd like to help out with the latter project, members of the public are being urged to send the prisoners seeds; here's the link to read about this. Via Yahoo! Picks.
