Gardening

The global food crisis has got a lot of us thinking more about where our food comes from, how it's grown, what's in it, who's in control, and whether there will be enough of it in the future. We hope the information at the sites we link to will help local communities take back control of those things and build real food security.

Edible Estates

In the book Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn, Fritz Haeg profiles several "lawn to food" garden projects across the country.

It features personal accounts by the gardeners, essays by the likes of Michael Pollan, garden plans and photos. A video on Haeg's website provides the rationale for this project. Click on the image to view the movie.
