Thanks for posting this Larry :-)
However- Cannot sign the petition without logging into FB. I wouldn't have
anything to do with FB.
Is there a non-FB link for this petition?
Namaste,
Linda

High-tech kitchen garden evangelist Roger Doiron
<http://rogerdoiron.com/>says: "If this garden is deemed illegal,
we're in deep you-know-what.
Earlier this year, Josée Landry and Michel Beauchamp of Drummondville,
Quebec planted the front yard of the future: a gorgeous and
meticulously-maintained edible landscape full of healthy fruits and
vegetables. Now they're being ordered by town officials to remove most of
their gardens (town code states that a vegetable garden can't occupy more
than 30% of the area of a front yard) in the next two weeks to make their
yard conform with newly harmonized town code. Front yard kitchen gardens
are not the problem; they're part of the solution to healthier and more
sustainable communities.
