sometimes an article is so bad it must be read. Like I was expecting that there was some classist/racist origin behind the word gardening but nope, the journalist who wrote this was one of those people who buys a plant because Instagram told them too and got laughed at when they said they were a gardener.
it's a nothing article where he just says young people don't call themselves gardeners
and that one of the reasons might be that "proper" gardeners are kinda gatekeepy
i fail to see the problem
apparently he's a botanist, not a journalist. i think the issue is he isn't a good writer and doesn't know how to communicate whatever vague idea he wanted to do an article on.
I'm very confused what the problem is here. Is it because people like growing shit but don't subscribe to Bougie Gardener magazine?

well he doesn't strike me as a good one.
why?
He wrote an article about why the word gardening was bad, that's why.

Its one thing to say gardening is racist, its another to say the word itself is problematic. Is the word gardening racist, that's what I want to know.
