The illicit cultivation of someone else's land.

Gardening public space with or without permission.

Los Angeles Guerrilla Gardening (LAGG) started on a summer night in Hollywood, CA. We started as a group of friends looking for a fun activity and a way to brighten up a local neighborhood. After our first dig, we had an outpouring of support from the community and soon realized what our mission as LAGG would soon become:

To get our hands dirty by starting gardens all over Los Angeles. To be a resource for other potential Guerrilla Gardeners and a homebase for people interested in brightening their own communities.

We have had Guerrilla Gardeners as young as 10 and as old as 80 get involved in some of our gardens and continue to meet new people who continually help us create a sense of community.
