neighborhoods where obsession with uniformity, house values and appearance collide with gardeners...the challenge of gardening well, and even more so, the impact of a changing climate on which things grow well (and less well) where - and the critter attacks.

It is definitely an individual decision - I've come upon such a wide array of gardeners over my many years of going around and giving workshops and lectures. What I always wish to see are more young people doing it. The future of our genetic plant heritage depends upon getting young people involved with plant preservation and see saving and sharing.
