New York A02122 establishes the "garden protection act" to safeguard residents' rights to cultivate home vegetable, native plant, and pollinator.

New York A02122, known as the "garden protection act," ensures individuals can grow home vegetable gardens, native plant gardens, and pollinator gardens on their property or with permission on others' property. Municipalities cannot regulate these gardens specifically, though general rules on height, setbacks, water use, and invasive species control may apply. This act aims to promote sustainable food production and support native biodiversity.
