Noel on the future of ecological planting design

[@lynnpurse]

Wonderful presentation, a great look at how much gardening has changed and is changing and how to merge aesthetics and ecology into sustainable gardens. More please!

I really think it would be great if somehow we could stich together pieces of Roy Diblik, Noel K., Piet O., Claudia West, and probably a few other people with plant knowledge... And let their combined experience go on some public space plantings. The results would be both beautiful, and ecological. Naturalized areas can be more beautiful. Designed areas can be more ecological. Finding the balance is the thing. Definitely smiled at the 'sporobolizing' reference.

Fascinating presentation, but to me, biodiversity includes fauna - invertebrates and vertebrates - so please consider these in this great approach to gardening. Wonderful to see mown lawn only as pathways.

Plant density. Sometimes more open distribution, for example on light sandy soils can be very beneficial to insects for ground basking as in butterflies or even nesting as in mining bee species.

I really enjoy these presentations but am not sure why it is necessary to have a dig at Monty Don I the preamble? Each to their own.
