Excerpt:

A Paris-based gardening author and influencer is encouraging more people to green France’s urban spaces, insisting guerilla tactics can transform unloved areas.

Ophélie Damblé, 35, goes by the moniker Ta Mère Nature online, where she has a hugely successful YouTube account and 243,000 followers on Instagram.

She started sharing videos in 2017 and today specialises in urban agriculture, having created a neighbourhood nursery at Cité Fertile, on the site of a former SNCF freight station in Pantin.

She has also become one of the faces of France’s burgeoning guerrilla gardening movement, which sees ordinary citizens, rather than local authorities, targeting neglected areas and planting flowers, fruit, vegetables or herbs.

“For me, green guerrilla warfare is a tool like any other for getting involved in greening,” Ms Damblé said.

“It’s true that there’s a slightly more militant and illegal side to it, which can sometimes scare people.

“That’s where being part of an association can be reassuring, because you’ll be supported by people who have more experience, who have the tools, and so on.”
