“I walk, I see, I do”: A more-than human perspective on urban gardening

Urban Farm DB summary

Drawing on the practitioner memoirs of Tallinn gardener Anton and in-depth interviews with city officials and gardening activists, this case study traces how Anton moved from community gardening to guerrilla gardening. It applies a more-than-human theoretical lens to show that the strong emotions driving early community gardening experiments led to a more controlled, institutionalized governance model, which alienated first-generation activists like Anton and pushed him toward guerrilla gardening instead.
