I am appalled that humans today would choose a perfectly groomed non native grass front yard (with very little purpose) over a prolific garden that has huge benefits to the planet and personal health. I understand that this article is based on an ‘ordinance’. I think it is time that Northbrook re-evaluate this and more ordinances that go against the local food philosophy. The less our food travels across the world, the better we are. It is just that simple. Anyway, who thinks a store bought tomato tastes better than one straight from your garden? Bar none, those vegetables at home are better for you and they do not promote bad management practices. Go local, grow your own food, fight this issue! I grew up in Northbrook and if I was living there now I would be at the council telling them this face to face.
