This is the 7th post about the transition of a piece of waste ground into a purposed wild garden. These photos were taken during the year 2020 when it was in its natural state, that is to say, the “before” pictures, when there were already lots of interesting flowering plants, mostly native species but some escapees from gardens. The images this time feature Large Bindweed (Calystegia silvatica).
Do you keep these bindweeds or remove them, I wonder?

Thank you but I don’t understand, Denzil. Why would there be any question about it?

Over here they have a tendency to take over a flower bed or vegetable patch.

I was joking really. It is the same over here. Most people would get rid of them in their garden unless they were into creating greater biodiversity and keen of providing food for insects. In a wild garden or waste ground bindweeds should be free to express their full potential – and they look beautiful entwining the other wild plants.
