"Why garden centres
are killing the planet".
As a slightly OT appendix, one of my local garden centres recently hired
pest control people to kill a family of robins which had nested in its
cafe (not far from where they sold wild bird food and nestboxes).
Many peoples idea of gardening now seems to be to dig up anything like
grass, plants and shrubs and replace them with concrete, gravel and
decking, adorned with tropical hardwood furniture, security lights,
patio heaters and barbies. Perhaps products (and TV garden makeover
programmes) should carry CO2 warnings.
