Or talk to your local council about planting native wildflowers on the easement and get the answer no, that being for two reasons, one that someone might get hurt, and two, that one day in the future they may turn the easement into a pavement.

I argued this with the front of counter man who assured me he was with me on the subject, but council has writ, and having writ will never back-pedal.

I like how they come from such an informed perspective. 🤣
