Downtown outdoor spaces

I figured that is the case, that they grow too "wild looking". But, assuming they are native species (and I hope they are), shouldn't we be letting them go through their life-cycles? There should be local insects and animals that depend or thrive on each stage of life and death of the plants. But maybe they aren't native and just for show.

Either way, I personally find the natural overgrown appearance much nicer than the neatly pruned plants of most of our parks.
