Edible Landscapes

Edible Landscapes I create landscapes that are beautiful, productive and low-maintenance. Everyone wants fresh, healthy food. Why can’t we have it growing all around us?

Yards, land around buildings, urban parks, vacant lots--all of these can be producing food for people while also being lower maintenance than grass that needs mowing. My work is inspired by the needs of people as well as the needs of the Earth, and is informed by the permaculture movement. I earned my Permaculture Design Certificate from the Regenerative Design Institute in 2010. Permaculture ('pe

rmanent agriculture', also 'permanent culture') is “the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature.” -Bill Mollison, co-founder of permaculture. Permaculture offers many practical solutions to the problems we are facing. For example, many of us understand that our present food system is unhealthy and unsustainble because it is is dependent on non-renewable energy, and lots of chemicals and technology for processing and transportation. We need to change the way we eat. For ourselves, our children and all who will come after us, we need to make the shift from being primarily "consumers" to producer/consumers. Let’s start by making your yard or place of work beautiful and productive. I am available for edible landscaping/permaculture consultation, design and installation work in the greater Jacksonville area.
