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 grownlots 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 HOAs would approve. Call it food gardening in plain sight, and having it all.

In this entertaining and informative book, youll 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.

The Foodscape Revolution Reviews

"The Foodscape Revolution 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." ~Jill Sell
"About a decade ago, Brie Arthur won a Yard of the Year award for her home landscape. Thats not unusual, since shes a professional horticulturist. What was surprising was the design. Apparently, her North Carolina homeowners association hadnt 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 plants 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 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!" ~Susan Mulvhill
"The Foodscape Revolution is eclectic and charming. Arthurs 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." ~Esther Jackson
