Celebrate Quentin's Garden

Celebrate Quentin's Garden

After the one year moratorium on front yard vegetable gardens the Falcon Heights city council voted to allow citizens to plant edible vegetation in their front yards in the spring of 2021. My “Support Quentin’s Garden” signs mingled with social justice and polarizing political lawn signs, creating an odd juxtaposition. I thought about the role of design, propaganda, advertising, and media pressure in influencing public policy. I celebrated Quentin’s garden by distributing free vegetable plants, organic seeds and festive signs.
