Gardening is not the revolution

Gardening is not the revolution, nor does gardening turn every gardener into a cultural radical… Gardening [...] produces good food and other benefits outside the complex of exchange… Moreover, it is an art form, an area of creativity as rich and promising as any symbolic activity, and one which can roughly but easily transpire beyond the realm of representation and mediation. It can function as an important part of ‘everyday life’ in the radical sense of that term.
