Edgelands are the forgotten places in a city: the abandoned lots, warehouses, railroad tracks, and parking lots that have fallen into disrepair. As years go by, weed seeds germinate through cracks in the asphalt and a new urban ecology begins. Native and non-native plants take root and wildlife food and shelter are reintroduced. This site explores the values of neglected urban wildscapes and points out why we need them in the city.

by plants, it will be the plants that we use in our gardens that determine what
nature will be like 10, 20, and 50 years from now.”
