Look out for this exhibition - I saw it in Austin, TX - by artist Fritz Haeg.
What is the project about??
The Edible Estates Project proposes the replacement of the domestic front lawn with a highly productive edible landscape. Food grown in your front yard will connect to the seasons, the organic cycles of the earth, and our neighbors. The usually lifeless space in front of the house will be replaced with the chaotic abundance of biodiversity.
A small folder explains the basic guidelines for making an Edible Estate, including some composing info and a timetable when to plant what.
