How can nature strike back in civil disobedience? A growing commons of disobedient fungi, plants, and insects produces crested ink (Coprinus comatus) that smash through asphalt, mad ants (Paratrechina pubens) that pounce on electronic devices, and white goosefoot (Amaranthus) as weeds that won't even do that against Broad spectrum herbicide Roundup arrives. As a natural breeding ground, seed archive and seed distributor, the garden serves as a meeting place to discuss the ethical and ecological consequences of biological disobedience.
