Maybe you might consider helping out a fellow shrubber, currently in
jail for failure to plant insufficient shrubbery.
"Fairfax County officials jailed landowner and political activist John
M. Thoburn on Feb. 16, accusing him of violating court orders to
maintain his Reston golf driving range. County officials acknowledged it
was rare to jail someone over a zoning matter, but they said Thoburn,
43, had failed to plant the required number of trees and shrubs on the
driving range. What follows is Thoburn's view, written from his jail
cell."
