I can’t figure out what is worse:
🔺that plastic lawns are becoming more common
🔺that they need to be vacuumed
🔺that this council ‘generally’ won’t remove trees on request
🔺that this is happening
The obvious solution to this problem is to have plastic trees too. No falling leaves or blossom petals, & no bees or other pesky insects either. Come to that, no birds too, depositing poop on the car & patio. Anyone who wants birdsong can have it on their iPad with earphones.

@lolimac01 @alexgoudie @TheMontyDon And it’s PUBLIC tax payers money that’s paying for it. So people have a right to question it - it’s called a democracy!
Delighted to see that the police are warning us about the dangers of free knowledge. Imagine the chaos, if we all started learning science and stuff ... without paying.

Perhaps the women who attended last week's vigil for a murdered young woman should have taken off their masks and pretended to be an anti-Lockdown protest if they didn't want to be violently broken up by the Met Police.

Don’t just imagine a nature-rich future – demand it! I’ve joined over 50 organisations calling for nature’s recovery to be written into the #EnvironmentBill It only takes one min, will you? #StateofNature https://t.co/mIOIkYPwiH
Came across an example of mass AstroTurfing yesterday, so I thought I'd look at estate agent websites to see what the garden once looked like. We are really gifted at self-destruction, aren't we?
Have spent my whole career in horticulture pushing a low-mow low-intervention no-peat agenda. I never thought I’d hear the day when it became mainstream. The wonderful @TheMontyDon on @BBCRadio4 this morning literally brought me to tears. Thank you @GWandShows
Important piece by @RosCoward - the govt's 'build, build, build' policy is tearing up the green space that is supposed to be helping us restore biodiversity, fight climate change and improve our wellbeing. @KneppSafaris #rewilding

Do/should garden designers have a duty towards nature? Watched the 2nd episode of #yourgardenmadeperfect (self-torture), witnessing extensive paving, pond removal & light pollution to create a "garden room". Should ecological baseline ever be considered ? Biodiversity gain?
