A few of the most interesting green anarchists I know do forest gardening.

The Amazon was a giant forest garden in which its human inhabitants were actually a good contributor to the environment. (Source, Source 2)

The people over at Backwoods in the US have published a little on this, I think, if you live there and have access to the paper.

I learned a little about this years ago when Free Radical Radio was getting into the swing of things (like ep 74 I think),

Also just came across this:

A Political Autobiography of Dion Workman of Shikigami

Bellamy interviews Dion Workman of Shikigami (http://shikigami.net/) on his political development over his life, including: his early days in a stringent school among Nazi skinheads, developing a taste for work abolition in his teenage years, becoming acquainted with Situationist writings that radicalized him, and how he came to practice forest gardening in Japan.

I've been doing it for years but it gets harder every year because of climate change scorching everything, which is forcing me to introduce a lot more cacti and succulents to try and keep up with the changing climate.
