I still find it useful to think of 'weeds' as plants in the wrong place. Ragwort in a paddock would be toxic - in a rewilded front garden it's a vibrant splash of yellow. Stinging nettles under a swing would be unkind - but next to the compost heap they make perfect sense ... I think my approach to gardening is about editing what pops up - Plants get moved - to where they suit me - and also to where their specific features are a contribution to other inhabitants of this planet.
The idea of 'editing' is interesting. Co-partnering as part of a wider system. I think we're all on a major shift with this stuff and working out how it moves forward.
