While they won't be raising chickens, residents likely will be growing more fruits and vegetables under the new urban-farming ordinance. It allows community gardening in most areas, including vacant lots, group homes and parks. Enthusiasm for collective gardens sprouted from the highly successful Stuart Community Garden, established last year in East Stuart.
