Anyone know how this would affect deed restrictions?

The clear exploitation of this law would be to plant corn or beans or other tall crops to create a privacy screen.
Are the "governments" of the Villages recognized as valid governmental entities by the county and state governments? If they are, then they might affect deed restrictions. If it isn't, and the term "government" is a Villages-specific designation, then no it wouldn't affect them at all.

The bill, if passed into law, would prevent the *government* from banning it. In other words, it'd be a county and town zoning thing. The town in which Fenney is located, would not be allowed to prohibit a Villager living in the Fenney portion of the Villages from planting a garden on their front lawn. But the Villages, being a private entity, might be allowed to still place the restriction within their entity-owned community.
