Every collector is in some ways a gardener. There is a certain beauty in allowing things to become overgrown and allow nature to reclaim the land, but most of us strive for a balanced display and are constantly fiddling and tweaking things until we find perfection.
Some people just stuff shelves with rows of figures in A pose with no consideration for even lighting or presentation. This is clutter, this is a bunch of plastic crap broadcasting a lack of impulse control, a hoarder's addiction, and it transforms something that should be light and fun into a disgusting manifestation of mental illness.
Piles of unopened boxes scattered around the floor is not the same as placing stones throughout the garden, it's just a fire and health hazard.
