    Does Two Rivers allow front yard gardens? What to know.

    Sakege Posted on

    Additionally, the Manitowoc County Foster Care Program will be holding an informational session and is beginning the winter moratorium on utility disconnections.

    TWO RIVERS – Two Rivers residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinions on allowing front yard gardens permanently during a public hearing on Nov. 4.

    Residents have been allowed to apply for a permit to plant a front yard garden at Two Rivers for the past two years. The council started that program to see how much interest there was in planting front yard gardens and how other residents felt about it.

    With a permit, vegetable gardens may be placed in front yards as long as they are planted in raised beds or containers and placed 4 feet from the front property line. Plants are also required to be kept below 3 feet in height and the garden is limited to 100 square feet of ground surface.

    Now, the Dos Ríos City Council wants to listen to public opinion before making the program a permanent feature of the city ​​ordinances. Once the ordinance allows front yard gardens, people will no longer need to apply for a permit to plant vegetables in their front yard.

    The public hearing will take place on Nov. 4 at the start of the City Council meeting at 6 p.m.
