[Peace Project 1] A flower on the gray street, Guerrilla Gardening

A flower on the gray street, Guerrilla Gardening


Guerilla Gardening is planting plants such as flowers or other things secretly at places that not permitted and abandoned.




Start of Guerilla Gardening.

How does it start? it was started by an english youth called ‘Richard Reynolds’ in the last of 1960s. at that time, near California University where Richard lives was almost wasteland.  people thought as this land pitifully and they planted few flowers and trees there and made a kind of park.
This is the beginning of Guerilla Gardening.

Guerilla Gardening doesn’t have any special approval and they can plant at any places like crack of sidewalk or asphalt, near dust bins.
Guerilla Gardening put life into the concrete jungle city which is very gray and desolate , it makes people’s mind richer.

It is an activity that makes better regional view and also a practical movement which is against standardized urban development .

So, we would like to begin this project.

To take part in this great activity, we (I and some people) were doing Guerilla Gardening near Gwang-An beach, Busan during ten days in last March.


This time, our plan was hanging flowerpot on the trees along the street.
First, we dropped by a flower shop and bought some spring flowers and put them on the recycle pot. and we also made signposts that can change people’s recognition with beautiful words.

The flowers come into bloom on the deserted street at this time the winter has passed and it made us smile.
Through this project, we see small possibility that tiny things can make people’s mind even if it sounds like illusion now, world peace can be realized soon. hope to many people’s thinking would be changed.
