Sa mga suburb sa Australia, karaniwang makikita ang mga prutas, gulay, at halamang pampalasa sa harapang hardin o gilid ng kalsada. Pero legal ba itong pitasin? Ipinapaliwanag ng gabay na ito kung kailan pinapayagan ang pamimitas, bakit mahalaga ang pahintulot, at kung paano makatutulong ang community gardens sa pagtatanim ng sariling pagkain.
Key Points
- Ang pagkuha ng prutas o gulay sa hardin ng iba nang walang pahintulot ay maaaring ituring na pagpasok nang walang permiso at pagnanakaw.
- Laging humingi ng pahintulot sa may-ari bago mamitas sa hardin o gilid ng kalsada, maliban kung malinaw na inilabas ito para kunin ng iba.
- Sumali sa isang community garden sa inyong lugar upang makapagtanim at makapagbahagi ng mga ani.
Kapag nakakita ka ng hinog na prutas sa hardin ng ibang tao, maaaring matukso kang mamitas.
Ngunit ayon kay Jarrad Duggan, na namumuno sa community safety team ng City of Fremantle, ilegal ang pagkuha ng mga ani mula sa hardin ng ibang tao.
"It actually isn't lawful to go onto anybody's property without their permission. So no, you wouldn't be able to just walk onto someone's land and take anything from their property because that actually could be considered theft or stealing."
In other words, always ask the property owner before taking produce. The same principle generally applies to produce growing on the verge outside someone's home.
"With the verge, again, this actually isn't lawful to take anything from either. I know it's council land, but you actually need permission to remove anything from a verge."
"You need permission from the person who is either living in the property or owns the property. This doesn't come from the council. It's actually from that person."

Community gardens are a great way of growing whatever you have in your homeland that you can't get from any of the shopping centres.Sofia Carvajal
