Catherine, they only enforce the rule if someone complains about it and the local complainer has native plants growing in her front yard. Though I don't think she knows it...lol

Wild flowers bring bees and butterflies who are essential for pollinating. If they are not allowed in areas there will be no pollination for flowers and veggies. There is a program on English channel with a woman going around counties to promote wild flowers growing in parks and public places now. If they don't pollinate we will lose Apples,Pears, Tomatoes and many berries that need pollinating. Start a petition to grow more wild flowers,Robin!!!!
