This is an extreme exaggeration, but why do people do this to their yards? I was driving back and forth between Greenville and Washington today and I saw so many houses with artificial flowers planted in actual flower beds in front of their houses. What is up with this? The neighborhood in between our office and Gabe's daycare is the worst when it comes to these artificial gardens! Some even have them planted as borders framing the front sidewalks! People, please stop doing this to your yards-nothing planted would look 100% better than this crap! Sorry if this offends anyone, but this has become a new pet peeve.

I guess they like the idea of "low maintenance"!
ReplyDeletelol we make fun of it too. there was a house up front in our 'hood that planted fake tulips in the spring around their mailbox. they didn't cut the grass around it all summer, so there were bright red tulips and weeds there all year, even into the winter. talk about out of season. and even on our street, there is a house that has pots of "flowers" year round on their porch.
ReplyDeletereally. nothing is better than fake, if you ask me. i guess those folks didn't ask. but you did!

(the only place a fake flower should be is in a wreath on your door!, or in a graveyard!)
