Sometimes, to make change, you have to infiltrate the enemy’s domain, or at least that’s what the Greeks thought during the Trojan War. One homeowner used a similar technique to bring change to their neighborhood by joining the board of their homeowners association.

The gardener posted on Reddit about how they became president of their HOA to convince people that natural gardens aren’t so bad after all. In their post are photos of their lawn filled to the brim with flowers, vegetables, trees, and clovers.

The poster said: “I’ve convinced people that this kind of lawn is better than theirs! Some have joined, some haven’t. But no one is complaining about mine!”

Even *I* would complain about that, LOL!

I’m all for less lawn, but that’s just lazy ‘gardening.’ ;)

I prefer living in a quiet neighborhood, and I particularly dislike listening to landscaping equipment during the day. Depending on how the rules are written, the property owner may get around the traditional lawn by planting flowers or fruiting plants. That way no one need worry about how high the grass is.

Why do Ukraine War supporters keep TRASHING our language.

I did rock that ‘Farrah Fawcett Shag’ back in the day. But, I grew out of it.

Could you explain. I don’t see that had anything to do with Ukraine.

I have yet to meet a Leftist who doesn’t support the Ukraine War.

There’s nothing about Ukraine in this thread. Why are you hijacking this thread?
