growfoodraisehell: Occupy Austin Guerrilla Gardeners make one new public garden every week. Some have been destroyed by the city, others remain and are sprouting vegetables. We have had run ins with park staff who are confounded by our activities and threaten us with police who never show up. We do this to make people rethink notions of food, of where it comes from, of who produces it. We do this to make people rethink the use of space and the concept of property.
