Is it reasonable to expect that these planter boxes be replanted at each lot owners expense?
Absolutely. Even if this was a garden which was part of the lot, the owners would be expected to maintain it at their own expense in a manner that was in keeping with the appearance of the building.
The planters are different from the plants that they contain. The Owners Corp might be responsible for maintaining a common property parking spot, but they don’t have to pay to service the car that’s parked there.
Sounds like these owners have been getting a free ride on the gardening front.
And, despite what Puddn said above, unless there is a by-law or section of the strata plan that says the plants in the planters will be maintained at the OC’s expense, the costs of the gardening should be sheeted back to the plant owners.
