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.

      A weed is anything you don’t want in a particular area. Even the most hardcore people with wild gardens probably have a few plants that they definitely do not want.

      Like an entire yard of blackberries bushes, or giant hogweed which burns you if you touch it, or others which have noxious pollen, etc.

      A weed is just a plant that you didn’t plant.

        A weed is just a plant someone hasn’t figured out how to market it yet.

      Then use one of those sites that gets rid of it if there is a paywall for you.
