It required over an hour and a half of presentations, questions and comments, but Monctonians can now place a garden in their front yards.
Moncton City Council adopted the proposed amendments to By-law # Z-220.8 that expand the definition of landscaping to include the following: “lawns and gardens, which may include ornamental plants, edible plants, herbs, plants which produce fruits or vegetables, planting beds, garden boxes or containers, trellises, archways.”
City staff presented the research that studied other municipalities to determine how Moncton could proceed. It was the second time in less than a month that a presentation on the matter was given to council.
