Nature doesn't do straight lines
And yet, somewhere along the way, we started to believe that neat lawns, pruned hedges, and orderly flower beds were reflections of nature done right. This wasn’t by accident.
From palace gardens and royal hunting grounds to the modern landscaping of today, humans have tried to tame nature. To control and contain. These spaces may be green, but they’re often sterile.
The time has come to rage against this perfection. Because the truth is, a wild landscape supports far more life. The more tangled, layered, and “imperfect” it seems, the more pollinators, fungi, microbes, and birds are likely to thrive. At SUGi, we don’t plant gardens. We restore pockets of forest — messy, native, self-sustaining ecosystems that challenge our old ideas of what green space should look like.
It’s time to unlearn “perfect” and embrace a new vision of urban nature that’s untamed, abundant, and alive.
