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.

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.

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.
