The picture to the left shows Josée Landry and Michel Beauchamp's beautiful front yard garden in Drummondville, Quebec. While home gardens can help individuals and families become healthier and lead to more sustainable communities, the garden in their neighborhood is illegal. In this community front yard gardens are only allowed to take up up to 30% of the yard. The couple has been given two weeks to scale back their garden or face fines of $100-$300 per day. However, the couple has stated they do not intend to comply.
