Guerrilla Gardening?

Next to Apex Peakway at Highway 55, at Beaver Creek Lake, there is at least one corn plant growing next to a field of weeds (wild plants). And next to the lake itself is a squash plant? Out in Arizona, I learned that there is a practice of guerrilla gardening, where one drops seeds, seemingly randomly on property that is not yours, but is not otherwise being used. Then one can casually cultivate the crop without attracting attention.



Here's one site on the topic of Guerrilla Gardening.

I am all for Guerrilla Gardening. We could use more milkweed plants for the monarch butterfly here in Toronto. City gardeners still think of them as weeds and cut them down if they happen to grow where they don't want them to.
