Below-ground relationships of trees and other soil organisms are complex and barely understood. Is the wood wide web (WWW) proven or a theory? It's neither, and books on the subject are not based on science. We will learn more, but for now, we just don't know enough. Biologists avoid the WWW term.

Honestly it's just this cartoonist level of oblivious wealth, way beyond what I saw when I was a life model in Bath for the idle rich
And I just find it really sad.
Horticulture lends itself so naturally to an opulence and an abundance that anyone can enjoy, but it can't escape its own history yet

And now I'm working as a maintenance gardener for incredibly wealthy clients in Bristol, I see the remnants in these attitudes.
One of them told me I "speak very well"
Another said, upon seeing a second gardener that day "my empire groweth"
And very few will let me use their toilet

I have a background in post-colonial literature, so I'm primed for this shit, but it's maddening.
Even just the history of the lawn is deeply colonial and a display of wealth and power.
The same with garden design, sodding Capability Brown carving up the 18th century landscape to assert dominance
