What is the scope of a homeowner's right to do gardening?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Sechrist v. Municipal Court, 134 Cal.Rptr. 733, 64 Cal.App.3d 737 (Cal. App. 1976):

It is evident, then, that the use of property for a single-family residence includes those customary activities which make the home more comfortable and enjoyable, such as gardening, certain recreational activity, and the enjoyment of certain hobbies. The scope of such activity is circumscribed only insofar as it may not assume a commercial or public character, or constitute a health or safety hazard to the neighborhood. (See Hardy v. Calhoun (Tex.Civ.App.1964) 383 S.W.2d 652, 654.)
