HOAs Can’t Say No to Your Garden Anymore – Here’s How to Get Growing!

Have you ever dreamed of stepping into your own backyard, picking fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and juicy strawberries for your family—but afraid your HOA doesn't allow it? Well, have no fear in the beautiful state of Colorado!

Effective August 2023, Colorado law SB23-178 says HOAs can’t ban vegetable gardens in your yard—front, back, or side! That means you can finally grow your own food, save money on groceries, and give your family fresh, healthy meals straight from your garden.  This bill also removes barriers to water-wise landscaping (otherwise known as xeriscaping) in common interest communities.

But we get it—figuring out what to plant, how to set it up, and making sure you still follow your HOA’s rules can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in!  Not only do we have an expert gardener, we also have a local Colorado licensed real estate and business attorney on the team!  Rachael Ardanuy of RZA Legal is co-founder and makes sure that our gardening advice is always compliant with state and local laws.
