Sims should not care about anything inside fenced areas that are locked to them. Yet they constantly want to take care of plants or in this case plant dropped plants where they fell. Why is this in the game anyway? Sims should not autonomously plant plants. They recognize that the area is locked to them... after they walk half across the lot. But a plant close to the fence? "Let me plant that because I want to because I can."
