California Couple Wins Garden Rights

A California couple who purchased a home in 2019 were involved in a legal dispute with their neighbour over a 20-by-20-foot garden. The neighbour claimed ownership of the garden, citing a 1955 agreement that included $250 and babysitting services. However, a California appeals court has upheld the couple's exclusive right to use the garden.

The dispute centred on the 1955 agreement, which the neighbour claimed gave them access to the land. The couple, who bought the home in 2019, believed the garden was part of their property.

The California appeals court made its ruling on October 26, securing the couple's exclusive gardening rights.
