Loving your neighbor

Subjective lawn art - This bush was trimmed to look as if it is mooning the neighbors yard...I read the article and it said is was legal and the man had no recourse.

The picture I have used was part of a news blurb and I was wondering if it is appropriate since this is legal to make obvious lawn art that can be offensive?

Hey,I want a bush like that. That looks so cool. I wouldn't have a problem if my neighbor had a bush like that. There aren't too many things that offend me anymore.

You and I agree on the non offending end. Communication between us is seeking its way even if on this level. A sense of humor kept in mind would help us all be better neighbors!!

That is unbelievable. The person has a right to do as they please on their own property, but I do find it offensive art. I am an artist, and I don't find that in good taste.

lawn art - trimming your bushes into attractive shapes is a great way to express yourself.
Am sorry you find it offensive, most of the comments have been of mirth. I admire your artistic abilities. It is a shame that those neighbors got to that point. We seem to just not know our neighbors anymore.

rabbit topiary - the practice of topiary has been around from many many years and gardeners were hired to tend to just these creations. Some quite elaborate others quite simple. With disease or damage they often can be pruned to repair or create something new.
Appreciate your comments as I found it funny too. You could plant a bush and let it grow if you are in house and you could make it a family project. You might come up with something as funny between you and your family for a topiary busy. Thanks for commenting!!!
