Guerilla Gardening in Alliston

Photography by: Aaron Harcourt
Article by: Sarah Sondergaard






















































Ever feel like taking an unused, run-down, dumpy area and making it beautiful? You can. You should. Just jump in and do it! There are areas of land all over the place that lie in neglect and all that needs to be done is a little inquiring and a lot of elbow grease. Many people will give permission and allow you to use their land if you are making it better. You can find great areas to plant flowers, vegetables and herbs, while making a once unsightly places magical and enjoyable for all who pass by.

If you are interested in anything like this, visit our community vegetable garden behind the Feed Mill in Alliston. Access from Nelson St. or from front of Feed Mill. You are not trespassing...owner permission granted. Come join us as we grow, harvest and eat!
