Whether you have a tiny yard or a large lot, you can have a beautiful garden and eat it too! Edible landscapes filled with trees, shrubs, berries and perennial vegetables are a beautiful, sustainable method of growing food for yourself, increasing biodiversity, and attracting birds.

20. Can we eat our landscapes...? I wondered if it was possible to take a town like
Todmorden and focus on local food to re-engage people with the planet we
live on, create the sort of shifts in behaviour we need to live within the
resources we have, stop us thinking like disempowered victimsā¦
~Pam Warhurst

30. Iām not a gardener. Iāve dehydrated cacti, drowned āindestructibleā
house plants and even obliterated my perennial oregano! BUT,
growing edibles does make me immensely happy.
~Jackie, thelovenlife.com
31. I love and identify with the common and vulgar, the feral and ļ¬erce.
Iām as likely to call myself a weedwife and plant lover as
clinical herbalist.
~Kiva Rose
32. Our object is not to grow food. Itās to grow, harvest, and eat
spectacularly delicious food - food so delicious that eating it is one of
lifeās great pleasures.

33. I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my
soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for
novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.
~David Hobson
34. There is nothing we can do that is so profound a rebellion, there is no act
of eating that is so potent a blow for food quality and food system sanity ā
as to take back the corn crop in our own backyards and grow, breed, eat,
and save seed of corn based upon an entirely diļ¬erent set of values.

35. Give a man a ļ¬sh, he eats for a day. Teach a man to garden
and the whole neighbourhood gets tomatoes.
~Suburban Stone Age
57. Even black walnuts have many
friends
āOne plant is just a single note; no matter how beautiful on its own, it needs
other notes to form a melody. Thatās where the real music can begin.ā
~Roy Diblik, The Know Maintenance Perennial Garden
99. When everybody is going the wrong way, are you
brave enough to go the true way? A man can
transform the world's agriculture from what he
learns from an apple tree.
