In a victory for urban farmers and growers, the Des Moines City Council approved code changes Monday to make the city friendlier to those who want to transform unoccupied land into community gardens and farms.

The City Council also unanimously OK'd allowing a beloved garden, the.woodland.realm, to reopen after city officials shut it down about a year ago due to code violations. Both items were up for preliminary votes, but council members waived a second and third reading for final approval.

The move reflects a departure from how desmoinesgov previously has treated such urban gardens, including evicting those on municipal property in favor of leaving the land vacant for unspecified redevelopment and requiring that gardens abide by stricter standards than their residential neighbors.
