My Neighbor Poured Cement Over My Flower Garden Because the Bees Annoyed Him — He Never Expected Payback From the “Sweet Old Lady” Next Door

 

 

My neighbor destroyed my 25-year-old garden by pouring cement over it. It was too late to fix. He’d always hated my wild garden and bees, but the city found no violations.

Instead of fighting, I planted a new garden in the front yard, brought in legal bee hives, and watched life return. Neighbors loved it. He built an ugly fence and complained, but the city sided with me.

A storm knocked down his fence, revealing more illegal cement he’d poured. He got fined and had to remove it himself.

Later, I found an anonymous note from him, admitting he missed the flowers and was sorry. I felt peace—not forgiveness.

Spring is coming. I’m planting again. Life grows, even through cement.
