Manifesto callout, special treatment: Edible Estates is an attack on the front lawn and everything it has come to represent! Edible Estates is an ongoing series of projects to replace the front lawn with edible garden landscapes responsive to culture, climate, context and people! Edible Estates reconciles issues of global food production and urbanized land use with the modest gesture of a small domestic garden! Edible Estates is a practical food-producing initiative, a place-responsive landscape design proposal, a scientific horticultural experiment, a conceptual land-art project, a defiant political statement, a community out-reach program and an act of radical gardening! Edible Estates is nothing new; growing our own food is the first thing we did when we stopped being nomadic and started being "civilized"! The Edible Estates project proposes the replacement of the domestic front lawn with a highly productive edible landscape. It was initiated by architect and artist Fritz Haeg on Independence Day, 2005, with the planting of the first regional prototype garden in the geographic center of the United States, Salina, Kansas. Since then three more prototype gardens have been created, in Lakewood, California; Maplewood, New Jersey and London, England. Edible Estates regional prototype gardens will ultimately be established in nine cities across the United States. "Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn" documents the first four gardens with personal accounts written by the owners, garden plans and photographs illustrating the creation of the gardens— from ripping up the grass to harvesting a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Essays by Haeg, landscapearchitect Diana Balmori, garden and food writer Rosalind Creasy, author Michael Pollan and artist and writer Lesley Stern set the Edible Estates project in the context of larger issues concerning the environment, global food production and the imperative to generate a sense of community in our urban and suburban neighborhoods. This smart, affordable and well-designed book also includes reports and photographs from the owners of other edible front yards around the country, as well as helpful resources to guide you in making your own Edible Estate. ISBN10: 1933045744.
