Wild grain storage isn’t new. From Bronze Age sites like Must Farm to modern foragers, humans stored unprocessed seeds—working with time, not against it. A slower, more resilient food system. 🌾 📷: pascalbaudar #SubversiveGardener #WildGrains #FoodArchaeology

An abandoned stadium didn’t fall silent, it grew louder in green. This is what happens when people reclaim space from neglect and turn it into nourishment. No permits, no master plan, just collective care turning ruin into abundance. 📷: @james_stew #SubversiveGardener

Guerrilla gardening illustrates how ecosystems can form through adaptation, even in informal or unintended spaces. #GuerrillaGardening #UrbanEcology #InformalGreen #AdaptiveReuse #MicroHabitats #UrbanNature #LowImpactInterventions

Found in the Netherlands. A small-scale guerrilla garden installed within a crack in the street surface, forming a micro-ecosystem in an otherwise impermeable urban environment. #Netherlands #GuerrillaGardening #UrbanEcology #MicroEcosystems #InformalGreen

Found in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Repurposed tin cans mounted to a building’s drainpipe and used as planters, an informal form of urban gardening integrated directly into residential architecture. #Amsterdam #UrbanGardening #GuerrillaGardening #InformalGreen

Water propagation allows plants to multiply using what you already have, turning leftovers into roots and cities into living systems. 📷: Growsupplyshop #WaterPropagation #PlantPropagation #UrbanGardening #GrowWhatYouHave #PlantCareTips #SustainableGrowing

An improvised garden in a shopping cart, left in a pedestrian area. A common tactic in guerrilla urban gardening: using discarded objects to place plants directly into neglected or overlooked spaces. 📷: Gemüse Korb Project #GuerrillaGardening #UrbanGardening #FoundIntervention

Repurposed bottles. Vertical gardens. A practical approach to reducing waste while restoring green space. 📷: Alina Kuptsova #VerticalGardens #ReuseNotWaste #CircularDesign #UrbanGreening #SustainablePractices #WasteReduction

Throwback to our workshops on urban ecology and resistance — from seed bombs to food justice. Each session reminded us that education isn’t confined to classrooms. It grows in soil, in neighborhoods, and in every hand willing to plant change. 📍NYU #SubversiveGardener #Throwback

Throwback to seasons spent teaching seed sovereignty, street ecology, and the small tools that make big change. From seed bombs to flower power, every workshop planted awareness, agency, and care. Grateful for every classroom, neighborhood, and set of hands that grew with us.

Clay, compost, seed — a winter arsenal. Seed bombs wait for thaw, quiet grenades of biodiversity tucked into cold earth for spring detonation. Credit: @climateadaptationgroningen #SubversiveGardener #SeedBombs #GuerrillaGardening #WinterPreparation #BiodiversityAhead

After the storm, the garden remains. Fences fall, glass shatters, soil stays. In the Lower Ninth, restoration begins with hands — rebuilding what the wind tried to take. Every act of repair is resistance. 📍Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans Credit: @bgnnola #SubversiveGardener

Fermentation as quiet rebellion. Wild radish pods, foraged and transformed, bridging what’s gathered with what’s grown. Each jar becomes a record of place, flavor shaped by soil, air, and time. 📍California Credit: @pascalbaudar #SubversiveGardener #WildFermentation #ForagedFood

Beds cleared, soil turned. Winter work is preparation, not pause. A neighborhood garden rebuilt through hours, hands, and shared muscle. 📍Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans Credit: @bgnnola #SubversiveGardener #CommunityGarden #WinterSoil #CollectiveCare #GardenRecovery

Harvest medicine, not just food. Fire Cider, a living oxymel of roots, citrus, and heat, passed hand to hand through kitchens that remember. Each jar is an act of preservation, not only of health, but of knowledge. 📍Minnesota Credit: @milkweed.and.daisies #SubversiveGardener
