With interviews, tips and advice from celebrated gardeners, learn how to let weeds flourish without taking control. "This well-argued advocacy for rebel plants shows why we should all be growing a few in our gardens." Gardens Illustrated "In this excellent guide, garden designer Wallington rehabilitates the lowly weed&ellip;Wallingtons humor ("part of me - the rebellious, weed-like part! - likes weeds purely because people tell me not to") and passion for his subject shine through on every page. This new spin on an old subject will encourage both new and seasoned gardeners to look at whats already growing in their garden (and what could be) with fresh eyes." Publishers Weekly "A lovely, practical gardening book that celebrates the beauty and ecological value of the gorgeous plants that we have been silly enough to overlook. Gardens with native weeds are quintessentially English, tangled and tousled, and self-deprecating. Yet they burst with life, for these are plants that have evolved alongside our pollinators such as bees, and other insects that offer themselves to birds. Wild about Weeds sensibly distinguishes between the under-appreciated plants that conjure life into our gardens, and those potentially invasive species that are undesirable for good reason."

Publishers Weekly, [starred review] "The award-winning author finds beauty and purpose in all things green and natural, from the lush, mosslike coverage of babys tears to the highly condemned tansy gagwort. With more than 50 varieties of weeds profiled and organized by their rebelliousness and use in the garden, this guidebook helps gardeners who seek a more natural planting style or are simply curious what wonders their landscape can produce if cultivated properly" Phoenix Home Garden magazine Review Quote "This new spin on an old subject will encourage both new and seasoned gardeners to look at whats already growing in their garden (and what could be) with fresh eyes."
