Urban Dictionary of Horticultural Anarchy

For the love of all that is green and good, what is horticultural anarchy, you ask?

It's a state of being, a way of life, a rebellion against the tyranny of neatly trimmed lawns and carefully pruned bushes. It's about embracing the chaos, the mess, the weeds.

Definition

Horticultural anarchy: n. A state of mind that rejects the conventions of traditional gardening, instead embracing the wild, untamed beauty of nature.

Etymology

A combination of the words "horticulture" and "anarchy," because who needs rules, anyway?

Examples

Example 1: The neighbor who lets their yard grow wild, and then pretends it's a "wildflower garden."

Example 2: The hipster who uses a weed killer to kill the weeds, but only on Tuesdays.

Related Terms
