hopefully they’re planting native species as accidentally planting an invasive species can do more harm than good
These groups usually have at least one knowledgeable gardener selecting plants best suited for the space, and the question of invasive species is top of mind.
if true that’s great and I hope their endeavors goes great!
Its guerilla gardening, not rewilding. I’m a great fan of native plants There are plenty of non-native plants that will thrive in an urban environment, while not being invasive and also supporting insect life through pollination. So you can see she is planting lavender, possibly rosemary in the pictures. Non-native but an excellent source of nectar for bees and butteflies.
Then there’s guerilla grafting. You can sneak edible fruiting scions onto decorative apples and pears, for instance. Crab apples readily accept delicious apple and pear varieties.
I’m not saying don’t do this but I have seen a lot of great plants and gardens destroyed because they didn’t get the proper permission first.
In my experience most municipalities will support your garden project as long as you will maintain it. Especially if you work with them on the design.
That said, if the owner/manager is hard to reach and unlikely to notice or care then this can be a good and fun activity.
