Do you use "force" to grow a garden?

Gardening is often proposed as an alternative metaphor to the more common metaphors of war and sports.

The defining characteristic of a lot of garden styles is meticulous curation; anything undesirable is torn from the ground and discarded.

Only in combination with setting up and maintaining an environment designed for the plants that are desirable. Lots of supporting action, not just weeding out the bad parts.
