Fact checkers say False. USDA website says TRUE!

https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/general-information/initiatives-and-highlighted-programs/peoples-garden/registration-form

Very first sentence: “Do you have a community farm or garden that you’d like to designate a People’s Garden?”

My answer: “No, Comrade! HELL NO.”

It’s one woman’s BLOG - full of clickbait and ads.

None of the articles are dated and there are no additional references as to where she gets her ‘information.’

IGNORE! Rumor was started in 2023 and quickly ‘squashed.’ LOL!

See? Gardeners are funny people! *SMIRK*

That said, most Homeowner’s Associations frown on vegetable gardens over regular landscaping, so be aware of that if you’re a Veggie Gardener of you’re buying a property run by a HOA.

Is this like registering guns? Don’t register anything with the government except cars and deeds. Register your gardens so that government agents can check to see if you are up to code or if you’re growing something some corporation has patented or. . .
