New York Woman Battled Town for 'Natural Garden'

Jenae DiNapoli found herself in court defending what she calls the “natural garden" she created on her own property.

"look at the perfectly healthy piece of land over there. Let's tear it down!"

[@edwardd.taormina1509]

More of us should be supporting pollinator species, bees, butterflies, birds and so many more.

[@Realitycheck18]

Land of the free. Right?

[@fweedom34]

Love it! Leave it alone!

[@marypasco2213]

HOPE SHE WINS!!!

[@suzieb8366]

The US seems to be lawn paranoid! Like the lawn is part of the American Dream.... God/Nature has other ideas on what a dream is and I side with that personally, well done this lady for standing her ground or lawn you might say.

[@ThatGirlBaileyyy]

I absolutely love your profile picture! Jesus loves you! I love you! Your life matters!

[@cerubiaid]

If it's a fire hazard for HER and she wants to take that risk, that's her own choice. It's on her property. If it doesn't effect anyone, LEAVE IT ALONE. People have the right to make their own choices, even if they're dumb.

[@xbrandi12345x]

Even if they're dumb? What exactly is dumb about a pollinator garden?

[@cerubiaid]

@@xbrandi12345x yeah i agree. i was just saying in general, even if they make a bad choice, it's theirs. i don't find her garden dumb. my apologies!

[@wildwinebert]

amerikkka land of the free lol 🤡🤡🤡

[@heathercloete7450]

Sad state of affairs when the Land of the brave and "free" is really not free. When government can tell you what to do in your garden it's a sorry state of affairs.

[@DChristina]

Praying she wins! 🌸🌿 🦋 🐝 🙏🏼💕

[@kscory8577]

This is why people want less gov. Some cheerlead for more rules and laws

[@floridian.13]

KEEP IT

[@jayadaradhika1408]

It looks like a wonderland. Would be the perfect place for a child to curl up and read in, surrounded by nature like that.

[@jennoq1311]

Some people just don't appreciate nature. It's a shame.

[@fatherof4kids]

It is her yard.

[@oldschool8432]

Green grass, fire hazard?

[@JayVala520]

Lawn Paranoia US Govt 🤡

[@NA_49erFan]

She is a nature warrior, a hero. Her garden is what we need more of. We need to get past the kings lawn. In Fresno Ca the law says all feild have to be kept bare to prevent fires, i dont love the laws black and white point of view, its outdated and harms our ecosystems were gardens like hers actually work with and thrive with nature

Hi

[@Sugarglidergirl101]

It’s her property.

[@UssiTheGrouch]

That's the ultimate US-American approach. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@dannyboii_reps]

Kinda ugly and disorganized but her garden nonetheless. Let her what she wants with it

[@VITAS874]

Us become not so free? Why charging her? Govs have paranoid.

[@aarenlescopb]

Her natural garden is all weeds? Put your weeds in planters,easy fix

[@thedarkwolfv7233]

It takes a special kind of miserable person to sue someone over this

[@thomasknapp6403]

Where's all the bird advocates and nature advocates to help her in her case

[@actsismmljcorrectlyobeyed6190]

Don't live within a city it'd be a great idea.

[@teresanemirow9971]

I hope she wins!!!

[@cornishmaid9138]

Typical, city folk thinking the rules apply to everyone but them. Pretty garden though 🤭

[@vinlago]

Rules? Is it an HOA?

[@dearboy05]

​@@vinlago, huh? Cities have rules, too, not just HOA.

[@Avgeekseth]

Wo
