15 Organizations Creating Edible Landscapes

Posted by Focus on Arts and Ecology on - -

Dear Jon,

Greetings from New Orleans!

It may be surprising, but turf grass found on lawns, parks, and schoolyards requires up to 34 billion liters (nine billion gallons) of water per day and 31 million kilograms (70 million pounds) of pesticides for maintenance and 757 million liters (200 gallons) of gasoline for lawn mowing annually. But there are organizations around the world who are fed up with turf grass’ demands, and they are turning lawns into edible landscapes by replacing grass with food-producing and native plants to save resources and maintenance costs.

Food Tank is highlighting 15 edible landscaping organizations using food to drive ecological and social change: Backyard Abundance, Ecologia Design, Edible Estates, Edible Landscapes London, Edible Landscape Project, Foodswell, Home Harvest LLC, Incredible Edible Network, Maya Mountain Research Farm, Pha Tad Ke Botanical Garden, Philadelphia Orchard Project, Sadhana Forest, Sustainable Landscaping Initiative Vancouver, Trees that Feed Foundation, and Wayward.

Sincerely,

Danielle Nierenberg
