Feb 22 – Foodscape Revolution
My guest this week is Brie Arthur with her book The Foodscape Revolution – Finding a Better Way to Make space for Food and Beauty in Your Garden. www.briegrows.com
Foodscaping visionary Brie Arthur looks at under-utilized garden spaces around homes or in the landscaped common spaces of planned communities – and she sees places where food can be grown…lots and lots of it. And not in isolated patches, but inter-planted with non-food ornamental plants for year-round beauty. This is a new way of looking at public and private spaces, where aesthetics and function operate together to benefit individuals and entire communities. In The Foodscape Revolution, Arthur presents her status-quo-shaking plan to reinvent the common landscape – in a way that even HOA’s would approve. Follow Brie on FaceBook
