    I can't read French, but I think having a garden in the front yard is MUCH better than having a manicured lawn, which basically serves no purpose other than looking pretty.

    A few streets over from us is a home on a corner lot, and while they aren't growing veggies, they have redone their whole front lawn with wildflowers and bushes, and it's absolutely beautiful because it's so natural. They keep it under control so it looks pleasing, too.

    L'aménagement d'un potager à Saint-Charles-de-Drummond fait beaucoup réagir. C'est qu'il compose entièrement la cour avant d'une résidence de la rue du Richelieu. Pendant que le voisinage profite des avantages de celui-ci, la Ville souhaite l'interdire en vertu d'un règlement municipal.
    Michel Beauchamp et Josée Landry ont décidé en mars dernier de prendre soin de leur santé en aménageant sur le devant de leur résidence un potager urbain. Ils ont investi 2 500 $ dans la réalisation de ce projet. Le problème, c'est que la Ville de Drummondville souhaite l'interdire à la suite de la fusion avec la municipalité de Saint-Charles-de-Drummond.
    «Le règlement de Saint-Charles-de-Drummond est très clair. Vous n'avez pas le droit de faire un potager dans l'emprise de la rue. Il ne doit pas non plus dépasser 30 % de la surface restante de votre devant de maison», précise le conseiller municipal, Pierre Levasseur.
    Selon le couple, même si le potager ne répond pas aux exigences de la Ville, il plaît tout de même au voisinage.
    «Les enfants se promènent dans le potager et les voisins viennent y chercher des légumes. Ça amène le partage», explique le propriétaire, Michel Beauchamp.
    «Il y a une lettre qui leur a été envoyée aujourd'hui. Ils auront sept jours pour se rendre conformes dans les délais», ajoute M. Levasseur.
    Les propriétaires du potager urbain ont demandé que les communications avec les représentants de la Ville soient faites de façon écrites. Ils espèrent toujours en arriver à un terrain d'entente.
    «On souhaite faire renverser la vapeur avec la Ville. Les gens sont en amour avec le projet. C'est de faire l'utilisation intelligente du terrain avant, qui ne sert sinon qu'à l'esthétisme et au gazon», mentionne Michel Beauchamp.
    Ils auront une semaine exactement pour retirer une partie de leur potager qui empiète actuellement sur l'emprise de la rue.

    The arrangement(development) of a kitchen garden for Saint-Charles-de-Drummond makes a lot react. It is because he(it) composes completely the court(yard) before of a residence of the street of Richelieu. While the neighborhood takes advantage of advantages of this one, the City wishes to forbid him(it) by virtue of a municipal regulation(payment).
    Michel Beauchamp and Josée Landry decided last March to take care of their health by fitting out on the front of their residence an urban kitchen garden. They invested(surrounded) 2 500 $ in the realization of this project. The problem, it is because the City of Drummondville wishes to forbid him(it) following the fusion(merger) with the municipality of Saint-Charles-de-Drummond.
    " The regulation(payment) of Saint-Charles-de-Drummond is very clear. You have no right(law) to make a kitchen garden in the influence of the street. He does not either have to exceed(overtake) 30 % of the remaining surface of your front of house ", specifies the local councillor, Pierre Levasseur.
    According to the couple, even if the kitchen garden does not meet the requirements of the City, him(it)

    Thanks, cath - of course they should be able to have a kitchen garden - especially the way our economy is, and it's awesome to be able to grow your own produce.
    I can understand a critique if it were to be stuff growing shaggy and wild, but for example in the above pic, it's quite beautiful, too!

    This isn't my garden and it pisses me off, I can't imagine how the owners feel.

    Signed and shared this thread with the local gals.... hopefully more people who understand the situation will sign.

    It's a ridiculous law! I support owners by all my heart (and signing petition). This garden looks better that 80% of front yards I've seen!
