kumenglish Plants removed nearby house. Wrong - it's clearly meant to mean that the plants near the house were removed, but it seems to say that the plants removed the house somehow (illogical). If you use 'near' rather than 'nearby' then it would make more sense, but would be a note / bullet point rather than a proper sentence.
