A gardener’s nightmare is Amyria Taylor’s dream scenario.
Towering weeds make her ecstatic but most people see red and can’t wait to rip them out.
The Devonport naturopath and herbalist is keen to change weeds’ bad reputation.
Once people understand their healing properties they won’t treat them as weeds any more, Ms Taylor says.
"My absolute favourite probably has the worst reputation, the nettle. I think I’m a rebel at heart.
"I get excited about patches of nettle. It’s a bit sad, but yeah, I do."
She urges everyone to learn more from nature rather than taming everything in their backyard.
