RIP the pretty daffodils planted in the garden bed opposite our driveway by my partner - they were all picked by some arsehole who lives around here. This garden bed is driving me nuts tbh - I want it to be nice but it was a huge battle just to get people to stop using it as a dog toilet (the solution was filling it with plants and trellises etc - still some dog crap but it's reduced). Then just when we get some happy flowers they get nicked by some selfish idiot. :-(

I have a newfound respect for people who plant out massive community flower beds, it must be a constant battle to keep them even remotely nice.

One of our neighbours has put a huge effort into the street we live on, planting flowering bushes everywhere. People sometimes walk on them or let their dogs leave huge piles of crap everywhere or, it turns out, steal all the flowers. Yet she persists? I don't know how to cultivate this attitude and not give up and leave it to the weeds and dog turds.
