Homeowner certifies garden as National Wildlife Habitat after nosy neighbor files dozens of complaints about their gardening choices: ‘I now have signs on my yard that announce the habitat and the birds and bees get to keep living happily’

Some neighborhoods are blessed with wildflowers and pollinators, others are cursed with that one neighbor who treats municipal codes like bedtime reading and considers any yard with actual life to be a serious threat to suburban law & order. 

There's always a vigilante who cannot rest as long as someone, somewhere, isn't compliant with the tyranny of artificial grass in favor of anything "unruly," even if that means native plants, thriving wildlife, and a yard more biodiverse than the neighbor's knowledge of local gardening clauses.

You almost have to admire the level of pettiness: spending an afternoon meticulously filing dozens of complaints, one per house, just to rid the street of "overgrown weeds." It's the kind of energy that could power a small city, but in this case, is funneled into harassing anyone whose garden brings more joy than a fake lawn ever could.
