Summary

The measure makes it illegal for landlords or homeowners’ associations to forbid or unreasonably limit a resident’s vegetable garden on their own property. It defines a vegetable garden, sets a simple approval process, and places responsibility for costs on the garden owner. It also allows reasonable maintenance rules and provides a small penalty for violations.
