The Helvenstons finally pulled it off !
Check out their latest post :
It is nowlegalto grow your own food anywhere in your yard withinthe City of Orlando . We all managed to change our lilliputian part of the world for the better .
congratulation everyone . We did it . Never take care the involved computer code committal to writing , it would be very difficult foranyone to ever get a “ vegetable ” code violation again . Our front pace garden is all legal AS IS.Thank you ALL . limited thanks toKitchen Gardeners International , Institute for Justice , MotherEarth News , TreeHugger , alliance for Property Rights , Campaign for Liberty , Food Not Bombs , Food Not Lawns , FloridaSurvivalGardening.com , Orlando Center for UrbanPermaculture , Front Porch Radio , all of the media , and so many more .
( show the rest)I do n’t like legal engagement one piece .
I pay my taxes , put up by all the non - native invading plant requirements in my nursery and even keep an actual valid driver ’s permission in my wallet . The thought of “ fight back ” against something inequitable is a thing I can apprise … but I reckon I have a little too much Amish disarmer in me .
That said , what Jason and Jennifer Helvenston did impresses the heck out of me . They stood up to the city , play nice with their neighbor , permit their story be cognise and decline to turn under their nutrient despite the terror of profound fines .
right work . I ’m impressed .
That front curtilage garden beats gage any day .
If you lack my original video interview with them , here it is again :
And my Mother Earth clause ishere .
One of these days I need to go down there and do a young TV shoot featuring their garden … anyone want to descry me some cash for a good video camera ? :)
Let ’s keep winning these conflict !
