In reply to the discussion: Sick and very sad: Woman Sues City of Tulsa For Cutting Down Her Edible Garden [View all]WorseBeforeBetter
(11,441 posts)Ms. Morrison sounds like an artist, and I would heartily welcome her to my neighborhood (the HOA, however, would have a fit):
"Denise Morrison said she has more than 100 plant varieties in her front and back yards and all of them are edible and have a purpose.
She knows which ones will treat arthritis, which will make your food spicy, which ones keep mosquitoes away and treat bug bites, but she said none of that matter to city inspectors.
Last August, Morrison's front and back yards were filled with flowers in bloom, lemon, stevia, garlic chives, grapes, strawberries, apple mint, spearmint, peppermint, an apple tree, walnut tree, pecan trees and much more."
I hope she wins, and wins big. But God, the time and effort she put in to this yard, I'd cry too. Hopefully the community is rallying around her, but for the asshole(s) who complained.
