Why you need to rethink your views on ivy | Katy Merrington The Hepworth Wakefield

Katy Merrington, Cultural Gardener at The Hepworth Wakefield, explains why we need to reassess our views on ivy.
'Unless it's actually making the wall structurally unsafe, why would you get rid of it? It's one of the ultimate plants. It supports more than 140 species of insects, 17 species of birds and countless others shelter in its structure. I think we need to love ivy.'
