Problem
Keeping an entire garden tightly clipped and tended takes constant effort, and it leaves little room for the variety that arises on its own once nature is allowed some freedom. A garden that is tamed throughout also tends to feel sterile.
Solution
Let part of the garden grow wild and unruly on purpose, rather than tending every corner of it, so more life takes hold there while the overall workload actually goes down.
