Why Good Fences Make Bad Neighbors: Annie Leonard’s Backyard Commune
- Annie Leonard wrote in Living, Cities and Communal LivingWhen we were younger we all lived together in a big house in Washington, D.C. One couple moved out west for grad school at UC Berkeley, and over the next two decades, as other houses on the block became available, we all migrated. We tore down the fences in our back yards to have one huge shared garden; because so many in the community are avid gardeners (I’m not), I like to say that I live in a Monet painting with my best friends.
