(Video below) Vermont guerilla gardeners at Occupy Wall Street plant Organic seeds from the grassroots Vermont based seed company High Mowing Seeds. These activists, though not affiliated with High Mowing, are fulfilling their philosophy:
"we believe in re-imagining what our world can be like. We believe in a deeper understanding of how re-built food systems can support health on all levels – healthy environments, healthy economies, healthy communities and healthy bodies. We believe in a hopeful and inspired view of the future based on better stewardship for our planet. Everyday that we are in business, we are growing; working to provide an essential component in the re-building of our healthy food systems: the seeds." - High Mowing Seeds
Guerilla gardening is a form of ecological and humanitarian occupation, where activists plant food, flowers and trees on unused neglected land, in many instances starting community gardens for inner-city communities. Sometime guerilla gardening is a more "temporary" form of activism, planting seeds as an act of civil disobidience to make a statement. One instance that come to mind was when farmers planted hemp seeds on the DEA's front lawn.
