“For the past 17 years they’ve grown a garden in the front yard of their modest South Florida home. The backyard, they say, doesn’t get enough sunlight. But in May, the city put the couple’s garden, and any others like it, in their legal crosshairs. A new zoning ordinance designed to ‘protect the distinctive character of the Miami Shores Village,’ was enacted and specifically prohibited vegetables – not fruit, trees or even plastic flamingos – from appearing in front yards. Shortly after, the couple received a visit from their local code enforcement officer. They were given two choices: Uproot the garden or pay a $50 per day fine to keep it.“
