Imagine turning your backyard garden into a mini farmers market! The proposed Urban Garden Policy would let homeowners and community gardeners sell homegrown produce right from their own properties, making fresh, local food more accessible and boosting neighborhood connections. 🧺 The Planning Commission will discuss the Urban Garden Policy Proposal on April 16. If approved, it heads to the City Council for a public hearing on May 5. Learn more at https://bit.ly/43AWGTC.
