Gardeners across the country have turned to social media to show off their much-loved patches of wild garden in protest after remarks from their gardening heroes Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh, branding rewilding as “puritanical nonsense” and claiming gardeners have been “brainwashed by current trends” to let your garden go wild.
Their comments come after this year’s Chelsea Flower Show hit the headlines thanks to the number of show gardens featuring ‘weeds’ such as stinging nettles, dandelions and buttercups in line with the current vogue for rewilding green spaces.
