Has this got anything to do with gardening - or philosophy for that
matter?


Well this is first and foremost a humanist newsgroup and humanists like to
make others happy so sharing what pastimes and experiences make us happy is
significant.

As for gardening, the use of hand tools Vs machinery is significant. To the
plant it may not matter much if they use grass cutters to trim the
hedge-rows, (hack them to bits more like !), but it does matter to us as
humans whether we look upon a neatly pruned shrub or a mangled splintered
bit of wood.

Why? Ask a philosopher !!!
