A WOMAN has expressed her anger after her neighbour sneaked into her garden while she was at work and mowed her lawn – all because he was jealous of it.
The anonymous woman vented her frustration on Reddit and explained how she'd been growing her lawn since February in order to attract wildlife to her garden.
She continued: "My neighbour indicated in multiple occasions that my garden was looking scrappy and that he would 'lend me his roundup and sprayer free of charge.'
I politely refused repeatedly stating that it was for the wildlife."
The woman went on to note how her garden had grown everything from wildflowers, opium poppies and wild barley, to a whole variety of other native and non-native wildflowers.
Not to mention it had also attracted endangered Black Irish Honeybees, as well as two hedgehogs.

"I came home from work yesterday to find my entire garden neatly mown and all trimmings put in my brown bin," she continued.
"Additionally my driveway has been sprayed with roundup and the vast majority of my wildflowers , opium poppies, bluebells, and other plants are either dead or dying."

The neighbour said there was no need to thank him as he knew how busy I was in my job right now."

And the woman claims she knows exactly why the neighbour cut her lawn without permission.
"I know he was jealous of my garden as I had seen NextDoor posts where he was complaining that I had hedgehogs and badgers visit my garden when 'he doesn't even take care of the bloody thing,' she penned.
"I had been regularly sharing photos of my garden on a Facebook group for our local area, which he appears to have seen them on as he shared these same pictures to NextDoor."
I also overheard him at a BBQ in his garden when one of his friend's complimented my garden's flowers and butterflies."
"He responded 'I know, it's not bloody fair given the work I put into mine.'"
And it wasn't long before the comments section was flooded with comments.
"Put up a camera front and back, if he’s done it once he’ll do it again – and next time he won’t be stupid enough to admit it," urged one.
A second commented: "It's your lawn, not theirs. You declined their help, they ignored it."
"They then trespaaaed on your property, destroyed part of it, then admitted they had done it to help you out, despite you not needing it."
"In addition, you are aware that he is unhappy with how your garden looks, so it wasn't done as a favour, but more out of spite."

A third penned: "I actually cannot believe this. I am taking the same approach with my garden and would be mortified and heartbroken if I returned to this I'm so so sorry."
Meanwhile, a fourth added: "Just want to say I’m sorry this happened. It hurts my heart to read. I can’t imagine how you are feeling!"
