For lovers of #writing and #gardening, Nancy Lawson's essay on what language we have been taught to use is very thought-provoking. Is a lawn well-kept, manicured, pristine -- or undergrown? So many of the #words used to denigrate a thriving #garden filled with #bees and #birds imply something savage that needs to be beaten into submission: aggressive, weedy, pest, unruly. Let's call them lush, exuberant, and alive!
