London-based Richard Reynolds is the unofficial spokesperson for a worldwide movement of cultivating plants in public places without permission. From pimping pavement to throwing seedbombs, Reynolds’ book On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening Without Boundaries, contains tactics and inspiration for gardeners seeking to beautify their urban communities and to bust apathy about public spaces, at any risk. In his talk, Reynolds surveys the breadth of community-based gardening from artists and activists to foodies and florists who are using horticulture to combat litter and pollution everywhere from Botswana to Canada.
