Let People Grow Vegetables In Their Front Yards!

A Florida couple spent decades growing a vegetable garden in their front yard. Little did they know, they were breaking the law the whole time. In the Floridian village of Miami Shores where married couple Hermine Ricketts and Tom Carroll live, you can grow an ornamental garden in your front yard - flowers and such - but growing vegetables is against the rules. So the village made the two rip up their vegetable garden in 2017.

This is an outrage. People should be able to grow vegetables on their own property. Vegetable gardens can be very pretty, and besides they save the growers money - or can provide fresh produce for food banks. Please support the bill to allow front-yard vegetable gardens in Miami Shores.
