I don't agree with the fines but it's also a little more complicated than that, apparently the plants were starting to over grow the sidewalk. Naturalized gardens are fine but there needs to be some effort put in to not obstruct public infrastructure.

I do agree the bylaw needs to be changed though. How is one supposed to grow a natural garden while also removing specific plants designated as weeds? They're part of nature...

Generally though, this is just some Burlington shit. Karens all the way down.

Sounds like at the behest of some meddling neighbour. I would casually walk by their yard and liberally sprinkle clover seeds on it.
