Join Jill Cloutier of Sustainable World Radio for an interview
with permaculture teacher and author Heather Flores of Food Not Lawns How
to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your Neighborhood into a Community
www.foodnotlawns.com. Heather holds a BA degree in ecology,
education, and the arts from Goddard College.
Gardening can be a political act. Creativity, fulfillment, connection,
revolution—it all begins when we get our hands in the dirt.
-
Food Not Lawns combines practical wisdom on ecological design and
community-building with a fresh, green perspective on an age-old subject.
Activist and urban gardener Heather Flores shares her nine-step
permaculture design to help farmsteaders and city dwellers alike build
fertile soil, promote biodiversity, and increase natural habitat in their
own “paradise gardens.”
But 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
intersections and medians; organize community meals; start a street
theater 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.
Flores cares passionately about the damaged state of our environment and
the ills of our throwaway society. In Food Not Lawns, she shows us how to
reclaim the earth one garden at a time.
