So, what is 'ungardening' anyway?
The end result is a more eco-friendly habitat that’s every bit as beautiful: “When done properly, gardening can help to reverse ecological decline and create a welcoming enviornment for pollinators and wildlife,” says Keurajian. “If you find joy in any part of nature, be it plants, insects, mushrooms, birds, or anything else, ungardening an area will undoubtedly bring more of it into your life.”
Not sure you’re ready to hand your whole property over to Mother Nature? Start small! “It doesn't have to be an all or nothing process,” Keurajian says. “You can start ungardening just a small portion of your property while maintaining more conventional flower and veggie gardens and even lawn area.”One of the key steps of ungardening is kicking invasive species to the curb—but what does that term mean, exactly? An invasive species is any plant that’s introduced to a non-native area—a.k.a.
“Many plant species that are invasive now were introduced intentionally for the garden industry, many horticulturally, but some culinarily and agriculturally, as well,” says Keurajian. “Three of the most common ornamental species that are actually invasive are burning bush, privet, and barberry, but there are dozens of others.” She notes that what’s considered invasive will largely depend on where you live.
“Next, designate an area that you want to ungarden, and just let things grow! Manage invasive species and trim the edges to keep up appearances if you want, but otherwise let the plants and critters do what they want and just observe.

Afghanistan's top high school graduate fears for her futureSalgy Baran got the highest score in all of Afghanistan on her university entrance exams this year, but she has no answers for what comes next. The 18-year-old wants to stay and become a doctor, but as with so many other Afghans, those plans were plunged into doubt when the Taliban rolled into the capital of Kabul earlier this month, capping their stunning takeover of the country. Taliban leaders say women and girls will be able to attend school and work in accordance with Islamic law — without providing specifics — even as other prominent members of the militant group have sneered at the idea of coed classrooms and hinted at more reactionary measures.
