A Burlington homeowner is fighting charges over her “naturalized garden” of native plants in her front and back yards. The city is taking Karen Barnes to Provincial Offences Court, seeking up to $400,000 in fines for violating a bylaw order to cut it down.
Wife’s friend gave her a Rose of Sharon that we almost killed. Survived outdoors in a pot last winter, even through the record-breaking snow! Damn, that thing blooms non-stop and the hummingbirds are all over it.
