Guerrilla gardening is the growing movement where flower power meets people power. It’s a nature-based solution that anyone can do, to boost local biodiversity, grow fresh produce, and support community wellbeing
Rising global temperatures, air pollution, social fragmentation, food insecurity, and biodiversity loss are interconnected crises with interconnected solutions.
Too often we talk about these issues in the abstract, as if they were plates spinning too high above our heads to reach. But these are tangible problems – and guerrilla gardening is a tangible action that can help address them all.
Want to partner with Earthed or sign up your school or business?
Earthed exists for everyone who wants to restore the air we breath, water we drink, land we farm and food we eat. Earthed is a charity on a mission to democratise access to practical and accessible ways to restore nature, build community and grow food.
We believe that enough people know and care about the climate and biodiversity crises. But that our greatest threat is the lack of practical skills we have to do anything about it.
On Earthed, you can access bite-size video classes, challenges, a lively community and more.
Together, we can restore our world.
