Homeowner Faces Citation for Her 'Woke' Garden: Native Plants, KY 🌿

[Bayard]

31. Prospect neighborhood

That says it all. Lots of wealth there.

When we moved here 10 yrs ago, the whole front part of the property was a dead grass wasteland. The only trees were in the woods. I've lost count of how many trees we've planted, and some of the fast growers are now twice as tall as the house. Plus, we don't feel like we're living in a fishbowl now.

We also put in a large run off pond (which is now down to a small puddle--no rain), for the ducks, geese, and wildlife. I have a huge flower garden right in front of the house. The only thing we water is newly planted trees.

We have goats on one side, and horses on the other. They are quite efficient at mowing.

I actually lived next door to neighbors like this woman for several years in Louisville. It was terrific. They filled their backyard with native trees and plants, that had paths through it to look at everything. It was scandalous to the rest of the neighborhood, but we loved it.
