Lorraine Johnson is a great Toronto writer who specializes in the politics of gardening (no, seriously!). She wrote a great book a few years ago called "The New Ontario Naturalized Garden" that explored the practice of naturalized gardening, or trying to produce a complex ecosystem of indigenous plants instead of a monoculture of manicured turf. Some people look at naturalized gardens and see only "weeds" - why on earth should we penalize plants that are so well adapted to our local climate and soil they don't need babying??

It's nice to see Hamilton start to break out of old-fashioned thinking and explore naturalized highway medians.
