摘要

Would a weed by any other name be a pest? Maybe not. At last October's Australian Garden History Society forum, The Botany Behind Gardens, held at the School of Botany within the University of Melbourne, horticulturist JOHN DWYER, QC, presented his paper on the psychology of labelling plants as weeds. Here, Australian Horticulture presents his paper in two parts, looking at whether weeds are really that bad. Part 2 in our next issue.
