Food Not Lawns
This home near downtown Eugene has an edible front yard instead of a lawn. Densely planted edibles cut down on water use (and the grocery bill) and create a wonderful, interactive space.
If I could have the vocation of my choosing, I would either be a farmer or a teacher of urban gardening. Alas, I am neither of these things, yet!
I live in the Pacific Northwest and food security and sustainability are my passions. In a few days I'll begin making my case for why local (food, business, governance, resource use, etc.) is better and far more sane than the complicated, fragile and completely unsustainable system of infrastructure, production and distribution most humans currently depend on. Stay tuned!
