Kebun-Kebun Bangsar was recently served with an eviction notice for allegedly violating the conditions of their Temporary Occupancy License (TOL). This comes just weeks after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob praised the initiative on Twitter. First, we dive into the laws governing community gardens and how it can be done legally. Next, we discuss the benefits of community gardens and how to get one started.
