    This is probably not the best, but Michel and Josée's blog (le potagerurbain) have the google tool "to translate' in the language you want. This is on the right upper corner

    I think it's awesome that they have made their front yard a garden - saves them money and beautifies (imo) their yard. So many people just don't care about how their lawns look.

    While I am aware of stories having been done about owners who turn their yards into Zen or meditation gardens or the local neighbourhood gardening wonder, I have only read a couple of stories about urban Ontarians using front yards for gardening. In Hamilton, one person did plant a few things in her little yard. And I think it was in Toronto that someone's notion of container gardening was to plunk some blue boxes in the front yard and plant different vegetables in the containers. There was some angst over that unusual form of container gardening and that it is how it is news. In fact today, two men who planted a garden in a Toronto park plus did the regular grasscutting as volunteers got told not to do the grasscutting or gardening anymore.

    In Hamilton, some have tried to do all wildgrass/wildflower front yards but City bylaw usually gets involved if someone complains that those owners have left their grass over 15 cm etc. People who own their properties tend to care if someone in the neighbour is not making an effort to keep their yard/driveway/home in decent condition. Not everyone likes the wild garden look plus there are people with allergies to insects to consider too if one's garden attracts insects.

    Le couple de Drummondville qui cultive des légumes devant sa maison remporte une autre bataille. Le conseil municipal a accepté lundi soir d'autoriser la présence du potager de façade de Josée Landry et Michel Beauchamp pour cette année.
    La Ville de Drummondville compte par ailleurs amorcer une réflexion sur ce type de potagers, plutôt que de les interdire comme elle comptait le faire dans le cadre d'une harmonisation des règlements municipaux. Elle veut rédiger un règlement pour encadrer les cultures en façade d'ici le mois de mars 2013.
    La décision du conseil municipal ravit les principaux intéressés. « Sincèrement, je m'attendais au pire [...] C'est une longue bataille, puis je suis content de la direction qu'ils prennent parce que c'est ce pour quoi je me battais dès le début et, finalement, c'est une histoire heureuse », affirme Michel Beauchamp qui compte déposer avec sa conjointe une pétition de 35 000 signatures en faveur de leurs plantations.
    En juillet dernier, la Ville de Drummondville avait ordonné aux jardiniers de sacrifier une partie du potager qu'ils avaient aménagé au printemps devant leur résidence. Elle leur avait envoyé un avis leur demandant de remplacer les légumes par du gazon sur 30 % de la devanture sans quoi ils s'exposaient à des amendes allant de 100 à 300 $ par jour. Devant le tollé provoqué par cette décision, les autorités municipales leur avaient accordé un sursis jusqu'au 1er septembre.
    L'histoire a fait le tour du monde et les encouragements sont venus de partout. L'activiste américain et fondateur de Kitchen Gardeners International, qui a déjà convaincu le président Barack Obama de créer un potager à la Maison-Blanche, avait notamment lancé une pétition internationale pour faire plier Drummondville.
