Giant hogweed, evening primroses, fennel, ragweed... Carried by the wind, moved by animals, or under the soles of our shoes, vagabond species have boldly and vitally conquered our forests and moorlands. They are called "weeds," "pests," or "invasive," and too often, they are banned from our gardens. Many insist on declaring them enemies, but do they truly pose a danger?

French botanist and landscape architect Gilles Clément praises these species with exotic names and original behaviors that thrive happily in his "moving garden." In this beautiful plea, he describes the origins and history of a varied selection and helps us understand how human action is largely responsible for their wanderings.

A magnificent defense of planetary crossbreeding, written with the wisdom of a gardener and the poetics of a writer.
