Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the guerilla garden as a contested space of knowledge and a means of (re)composing urban landscapes. Guerilla gardening is the radical transformation of public property for illicit cultivation. As a practice, it involves individuals or groups of people transforming public and private spaces of neglect through the planting of crops or decorative plants. The purpose is to (re)compose decaying or unproductive spaces into sites of resilience and fecundity as a practice of spatial justice.
