About this product
Product Information
This is one of those "especially for now" kinds of books. For you, for the whole family, for your community. Foodscaping visionary Brie Arthur looks at under-utilized garden spaces around homes or in the landscaped common spaces of planned communities - and she sees places where food can be grown...lots and lots of it. And not in isolated patches, but inter-planted with non-food ornamental plants for year-round beauty. This is a new way of looking at private and public spaces, where aesthetics and function operate together to benefit individuals and entire communities. In The Foodscape Revolution , Arthur presents her status-quo-shaking plan to reinvent the common landscape - in a way that even HOA's would approve. Call it food gardening "in plain sight," and having it all. In this entertaining and informative book, you'll learn which edible and ornamental pairings work best to increase biodiversity, how to situate beds to best utilize natural water and light resources, and most importantly, how to begin an enriched gardening lifestyle that is beneficial, sustainable and empowering. With full-color photos, design plans, simple projects and bountiful tips, The Foodscape Revolution can be life-changing.

In essence, Foodscape Revolution is eclectic and charming. Arthur's garden-scapes are accessible and inviting, and this book is a useful resource for those looking for simple ways to begin growing plants for food., I believe Brie Arthur's The Foodscape Revolution will be very inspiring for folks who want a yard that sustains them -- both physically and spiritually -- while keeping their neighbors and/or homeowners associations happy!, It is a fun book to read, loaded with practical tips, and gives the aspiring foodscaper a framework for success. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to begin the adventure of growing their own food., "About a decade ago, Brie Arthur won a Yard of the Year award for her home landscape. That's not unusual, since she's a professional horticulturist. What was surprising was the design. Apparently, her North Carolina homeowners association hadn't noticed various vegetables and herbs planted in plain sight, alongside ornamental shrubs and trees. "Isolating veggie gardens to the backyard is so yesterday!" Arthur said, during the Winter Symposium at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. By matching a plant's needs with available spaces, gardeners can maximize the potential of their land, as well as their harvests. Foodscaping is the creative integration of edibles among ornamentals in a traditional landscape. " ~Lynne Jackson Kirk , author of Foodscapes: Where Beauty Co-exists with Bounty, The Foodscape Revolution (St. Lynn's Press) is Arthur's call to hoes, so to speak. She encourages gardeners to grow edibles along with their flowers and other ornamental plants. Some homeowners may have resistance from archaic zoning laws or inflexible neighbors if they suddenly decide to grow a half-acre of corn in their front yards. Arthur doesn't advocate digging up an entire property. But there is so much unused space in most suburban yards that can be used to grow carrots, kale and tomatoes., It is a fun book to read, loaded with practical tips, and gives the aspiring foodscaper a framework for success. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to begin the adventure of grow- ing their own food., About a decade ago, Brie Arthur won a Yard of the Year award for her home landscape. That's not unusual, since she's a professional horticulturist. What was surprising was the design. Apparently, her North Carolina homeowners association hadn't noticed various vegetables and herbs planted in plain sight, alongside ornamental shrubs and trees. "Isolating veggie gardens to the backyard is so yesterday!" Arthur said, during last month's Winter Symposium at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. By matching a plant's needs with available spaces, gardeners can maximize the potential of their land, as well as their harvests. Foodscaping is the creative integration of edibles among ornamentals in a traditional landscape.Pairing vegetables, fruits and herbs with shrubs, grasses and trees is nothing new. The concept of purposeful landscapes has been around since the 1970s. Rosalind Creasy, a pioneer in the field, penned more than 20 books about edible landscaping. However, four decades later, homeowners continue to cling to traditional landscapes with underutilized expanses of mulch -- a practice Arthur is determined to change. "Foodscaping is a design and growing strategy that makes the most of square footage in every landscape," Arthur said. "Initially, I wasn't an idealist (about the trend). I just did it because I was really, really poor." Now Arthur leads the foodscape movement with passion. She lectures internationally and serves as a correspondent for the PBS television show "Growing a Greener World." Arthur also penned her first book, "The Foodscape Revolution," which became an Amazon best-seller. "I mix beauty with ecology and nutrition," Arthur said. "There are millions of suburban acres cultivated in America. It's our opportunity to grow something of meaning." Benefits abound "You can never grow all you can eat, so at least grow five things you won't have to ever buy again," Arthur suggested. She encourages gardeners to be open-minded and adventurous. For example, during the growing season, visitors will discover rice and wheat growing in her front yard. The practice earned her a nickname of which she's proud: Grain Lady. Growing your own veggies reduces food miles, which is the distance a product travels from origin to consumer. "A grocery store has an average of 1,500 food miles per product," Arthur said. In effect, local foodscaping supports global sustainability. "Diverse plants support diverse entomology, too," Arthur said. She referenced gardeners' tendency to overplant a vegetable in one predetermined area. The lack of diversity invites disease and destructive pests, as well as lower yields. Conversely, diversity supports pollination and natural pest control. Striking curb appeal Arthur's gardens also demonstrate that foodscaping doesn't trade beauty for bounty. "I have a zero-tolerance policy for ugly plants," she said. Fortunately, utilitarian landscapes can maintain curb appeal because edibles present striking leaves, colorful fruits, varied heights and/or intriguing textures. Select edibles also support four-season interest. If you aren't pleased with the harvests or prefer a return to the traditional landscape, nothing is lost. Most edibles are annuals, so you can choose to plant them, or not, from year to year. Either way, the garden plot never appears empty, since the bones of the garden (perennials, shrubs and trees) are never disturbed. Foodscaping isn't limited to residential areas. The practice makes practical use of underused spaces in common areas, such as around public buildings, churches, schools and even parking lots. "There are endless possibilities and ways we can produce food on a local scale," Arthur said. "You just need to think outside the box.", " The Foodscape Revolution is eclectic and charming.
