We had some beautiful natural flowers growing wild in our backyard - Queen Anne’s Lace, Black Eyed Susans, oregano, wild peas, and several more. At any moment on a hot summer day you could see hundreds of bees hitting the flowers. This in our fenced-in back yard that no neighbours could see.
The city decided to nose around and chopped the whole thing down. I’m guessing Mr. Pederson would feel vindicated.
