hopefully they're planting native species as accidentally planting an invasive species can do more harm than good
These groups usually have at least one knowledgeable gardener selecting plants best suited for the space, and the question of invasive species is top of mind.
if true that's great and I hope their endeavors goes great!
Its guerilla gardening, not rewilding. I'm a great fan of native plants There are plenty of non-native plants that will thrive in an urban environment, while not being invasive and also supporting insect life through pollination. So you can see she is planting lavender, possibly rosemary in the pictures. Non-native but an excellent source of nectar for bees and butteflies.
Yep. My thoughts as well.
