In an unexpected twist, the real beast lurking behind the hedges wasn’t the giant koi but the neighbors themselves, still simmering with resentment from feuds past. And what started as a simple landscaping plan soon blossomed into an epic tale of petty revenge, neighborly pettiness, and the ultimate test of patience (plus a dash of garden schadenfreude).
