Hey, that's like my situation! lol

50+ fruit trees and 100+ native plants on 1/3rd acre, and my neighbor only has grass.

I'm an ecologist, and live in an extreme desert in the middle east. This is my small garden (and this is what it looked like when I bought the place 4 years ago). I have a couple of fruit trees/shrubs, but the rest are indigenous desert plants. My cats love the garden.

My sister has a house and garden in the downtown of a large urban centre. To keep her neighbours off her back she had her property designated a monarch sanctuary. Now she can grow indigenous plants and the bylaw officers can tell her neighbours to quit their bitching.
