Going Backwards

A couple in Quebec have completely converted their entire front yard to a gorgeous, well planned and maintained vegetable garden. The municipality, Drummondville, limits the area that can be dedicated to veggies in a front yard to 30%, so the municipality is going after them. As I read the article I see that Drummondville is going to limit it soon to ZERO percent in the front.

Nothing like going backwards. :(

The Garden

The Article

Give it the good fight Michel Beauchamp and Josée Landry!

Sometimes Words Fail Me...Well Not This Time

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I have been an urban planner (AICP, the whole nine yards). I am a gardener. I am appalled by the Oak Park position. I am even more appalled to see a member of what is supposed to be a forward looking ("planning", duh) profession act in this fashion. I understand that he could be under duress, but if not, he needs to have his credentials renewed.
