There is a big difference between growing produce and having a low turn-over naturalistic garden. The first requires a particular state of soil and surface that implies a lot of intervention and en-masse presence of young first-year plants, and potentially provides a bit of a dinner table for pests. In the second there is more chance of achieving some form of equilbirium, having plants with root systems established over more than one year, wild-life picking of pests. In the first scenario I might answer 'no', in the second scenario I will answer 'yes'.
