She obtained the local ordinances and followed every rule to the tee. She made sure that everything in her garden had a purpose, and that her garden looked its best at all times.
This struck me as a case of an offender brazenly violating the spirit of the law by carefully following it "to the letter" while paradoxically claiming the moral high ground.
Reminds me of the deceptive packaging and labeling of products. The manufacturers boast [and their defense is] that there is no deception, because "everything is on the label".
Yeah, like the ice cream box that has a faux (i.e. incomplete) ingredient list on one side beginning with "Contains:" and then in small print below, words that go something like "Full ingredient list on back".
Considering that the images in her defense are of limited scope (and don't look that great at that), it could be that this yard was a heinous rat trap from hell but this woman made sure she was not technically in violation. Any dustup and she becomes the victim.
Just my two pennywort...
The pictures are cropped shots designed to elicit emotional outcry’s in her favor.
The real shots should have been wide and even from the other side of the street to show what a mess the place really looked like.
It seems overgrown due to the density of the forest she created and as I recall from living in Tulsa, the city takes care to ensure neighborhoods are free of blight and unsightly properties(North and East Tulsa excluded).
Her story is a bunch of bunk and I’ll be any of the neighbors, as well the city, have better pictures of her “herb” garden.
Is this a street view of her home?

Buh Loan Knee....
I hate to be the one to break .it to you, but your commentary is vastly overpriced and overrated. You might want to reconsider, as it is HER property, not the city’s. She has every right to do as SHE wants, as long as no fumes, waste or pests migrate to her neighbors.
and I agree.
