Combines practical wisdom on ecological design and community-building with a fresh, green perspective. Features a nine-step permaculture design to help farmsteaders and city dwellers alike build fertile soil, promote biodiversity and increase natural habitat in their own gardens.

Food Not Lawns doesn’t begin and end in the seed bed. This joyful permaculture lifestyle manual inspires readers to apply the principles of the paradise garden - simplicity, resourcefulness, creativity, mindfulness and community - to all aspects of life. Plant ‘guerilla gardens’ in barren road intersections; organize community meals; start a street theatre 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. Move beyond your own garden and reach out into the community to help build a better, greener world for the next generation.
