Stop now!
I start by saying that tho we own our house and property we live in an adult lifestyle community and one of the many bylaws we abide by, we can't have fences.
We also live on a loop so 8 houses have an open backyard area.
Over the past 3 to 4 years 7 neighbours have planted gardens , trees and shrubs making a lovely green space area.to enhance the view all see .
I should also say ....We also live in a small village with Port the first part of the name.......
This is my view of the neighbours garden ( using that word very carefully) directly behind us.
I have named it the Garden Where Lighthouses go to Die!.
A very interesting garden, very much to a specific taste.
Yes , it is right off my dining room and living room windows ..
Think there should have been a bylaw regarding too much lawn "art".
Pilings and posts and ropes, Oh My!
My neighbours comment when she saw me gardening and planting trees and shrubs the first year was" I am not a gardener." If only I had known what that meant..One of the first rules of gardening I learned is not to have too much lawn "art".
Why oh why did I not share some of my gardening tips with her....
This where lighthouses go to die garden is only 3 years old, wonder what will happen over the next 3 years......
I thought I was done planting after 5 trees, 9 shrubs ,many grasses, roses, day lilies,hostas, spring bulbs, etc in my tiny back yard....
I now see even more planting in my future.....wonder what will grow fast and tall on the edge of garden to obscure the view of the Garden where Lighthouses go to die!....

It's like living by the sea!
Rosemary, they must love the beach, even planted those beachy grasses! Maybe they used to live by the sea and now miss it!! Also, if you have a chance, please stop by and read my latest post, you're in it! xo
Hi Rosemary,
I have to agree with you in that lawn art can be over done. Bylaws are set for a reason and I'm surprised no one has said anything. I suppose if you live by the beach this would be a nice scene.
Oh my! If at least they were all to the same scale. Well it could always be worse. We have a neighbor that is a contractor and even the decks of their 6000 square foot home have stacks of miscellaneous building materials. Luckily a fence hides most of their clutter.
I think it's a case of "good fences make good neighbors???"
