Quick takeaways

  • Gardening should be enjoyed without judgment or the need to constantly improve and upgrade, with a focus on finding joy in the process and the beauty of each individual garden.
  • The emphasis on native plants in gardening culture can lead to a sense of elitism and exclusion, and it is important to recognize that gardening is diverse and personal, allowing for mindful plant choices that benefit the environment while embracing personal creativity and enjoyment.

Deep dives

Gardening without Judgment

Gardening should be enjoyed without judgment or the need to constantly improve and upgrade. People should feel free to embrace their gardens as they are and not feel the pressure to conform to certain ideals of what a garden should be. The focus should be on finding joy in the process and the beauty that each individual garden brings, whether it includes natives or non-natives, vegetables or flowers. There should be a shift away from prescriptive guidelines and a celebration of the diversity and creativity that gardening offers.
