I think people are against them because they consider them an eyesore. You'd be amazed at some of the rules HOAs come up with just to be busy bodies. Small towns, like HOAs, often come up with some pretty weird rules, once again for the sake of being busy bodies. The fines they generate also incentivize coming up with controlling laws because then they become revenue generators. Myself personally, I find these gardens pretty nifty even though they're not my thing. I will say though, while I don't think I would find something like this as an eyesore, I have seen many front lawns that are just busted up messes and I can understand why HOAs and townships enforce such laws. Seriously, would you want neighbors like this?
