Philosophy of life and gardening A Website by Steve Richards steverichards.notion.site I enjoy gardening the most when it aligns with my broader philosophy of life, so I thought readers might like to see that philosophy and see how I apply it to gardening. These principles are in random order, just as they are applied in life. Sometimes my focus is on having fun, other times I'm focused on planning, still other times I just want to kick back and chat to my friends and neighbours.

Tactical urbanism Tactical urbanism includes low-cost, temporary changes to the built environment, usually in cities, intended to improve local neighborhoods and city gathering places. Tactical urbanism is also commonly referred to as guerrilla urbanism, pop-up urbanism, city repair, or D.I.Y. urbanism. The Street Plans Collaborative defines "tactical urbanism" as an approach to urban change that features the following five characteristics: A deliberate, phased approach to instigating change; The offering of local solutions for local planning challenges; Short-term commitment and realistic expectations; Low-risks, with a possibly high reward; and The development of social capital between citizens and the building of organizational capacity between public-private institutions, non-profits, and their constituents.
