Food Not Lawns combines practical wisdom on
ecological design and community-building with a
fresh, green perspective on an age-old subject.
Activist and urban gardener Heather Flores shares
her nine-step permaculture design to help
farmsteaders and city dwellers alike build
fertile soil, promote biodiversity, and increase
natural habitat in their own paradise gardens.
But Food Not Lawns doesnt begin and end in the
seed bed. This joyful permaculture lifestyle
manual inspires readers to apply the principles
of the paradise gardensimplicity,
resourcefulness, creativity, mindfulness, and
communityto all aspects of life. Plant guerilla
gardens in barren intersections and medians;
organize community meals; start a street theater
troupe or host a local art swap; free your
kitchen from refrigeration and enjoy truly fresh,
nourishing foods from your own plot of land; work
with children to create garden play spaces.
Flores cares passionately about the damaged state
of our environment and the ills of our throwaway
society. In Food Not Lawns, she shows us how to
reclaim the earth one garden at a time.
