Default Re: Arrested for gardening?

As ridiculous as it sounds, it happens frequently. I was the president of our co-op townhouse development in NY, and we had an existing rule that all vegetable gardens had to be behind the buildings; they could not be in the front. You could have flowers and shrubs and trees (if small enough to fit) in front, but no veggies. Now remember, this was a co-op, so all residents had the rules given to them before they joined the co-op. As far as I know, it never had to be enforced, but it still stood when I moved. By the way, my 2 vegetable gardens were behind my building and another one was off the co-op property.
