United KingdomAn elderly couple, Hilary Garner and Christopher Garner, both aged over 80, faced a £1,000 bill to remove plants they had planted on scrubland adjacent to their home in Worcester. The couple spent over £700 transforming a 3-square-meter area with colorful flora and trees to enhance the appearance of the communal verge.
