There a few things that have been percolating in the back of my mind in relation to eco-friendly plantings. One is the thought, that high ecological function equals an ugly garden. With negative connotations including, that they are messy, unkempt and unruly. Another, is the mounting evidence of the value of gardens as ecosystems, especially in urban areas. And, then there's the over reaching idea that beauty and ecological function don't have to exist separately, but can be combined in one space.
Really enjoyed reading this article. Completely agree with your point ‘rewilding is a spectrum’ - you don’t have to have rolling acres, beavers and a messy garden to make a difference! Might be nice though!
