NATURAL GARDENS
As a keen gardener, I was very interested by your Earth Day news stories and columns, with many helpful tips for new gardeners to grow a pollinator or natural garden as opposed to a sterile lawn. You mentioned the pollinator garden of Beth and Craig Sinclair in Smiths Falls as an example of what can be done.
Under the circumstances, it is ironic because only the other day a news item reported the town of Smiths Falls had ordered the Sinclairs to get rid of their natural pollinator garden and conform to some archaic local bylaw requiring lawns.
Naturally they are appealing this ruling, and have a lot of support.
I hope they succeed in keeping their garden.
