My overgrown garden neglected it is not,

Nature is left to grow and get on with it's lot.

My garden left to do it's own thing is a very healthy space,

The protection given by the sun to the soil is just ace.

 

Wildlife thrives on what is perceived as a mess

Weeds are great for pollinations,long grass beetles bless.

My thoughts are uplifted by even the most sluggish of weeds,

I fill all the gaps by planting the most sensuous of seeds.

 

My overgrown garden is not a neglected one,

In it butterflies land and hedgehogs run.

My trees branch out and produce fresh air,

And generously spread their goodness ,for us all to share.

 

Weeds play a key role in producing a fertile soil,

And their roots stabilise a secure life in their toil.

Weeds with long stems draw up nutrients deeply set in the ground,

Cleverly when destroyed will re-emerge and to the surface rebound.
