Stephanie Boxall's transition from a tidy garden to a wild one brought challenges and lessons. Initially enchanted by the magical, sprawling plot, she soon felt overwhelmed by the bindweed and brambles. However, inspired by Alys Fowler's perspective on embracing nature's chaos, Boxall found hope in the idea of learning from her garden's ecology. With experts like Dave Goulson highlighting the role of residential gardens in biodiversity conservation, Boxall realized the potential of her own green space. Despite the grim statistics of species at risk of extinction, there's optimism in the gardening community, with initiatives like rewilding gardens gaining recognition. Fowler emphasizes the importance of understanding ecological relationships, offering a new perspective on gardening as a way to reconnect with nature. This shift in mindset has empowered Boxall to see her garden in a new light, guiding her actions toward fostering biodiversity and embracing the wildness with joy.
