The Edible Landscape in Action

Revolutionize the way you look at growing food in your yard. Forget your idea of a 5×5 postage stamp garden and explore all the ways you can transform your entire landscape into an oasis full of edible herbs, plants and flowers. See how the smart use of space lets you direct water exactly where it needs to go, harvesting the rest – which spells a lower water bill for you.

Join us at the home of one of the co-founders of Edible Yard & Garden, a landscape design firm in Atlanta and Asheville focusing on low-maintenance edible landscapes and rainwater catchment systems. See how much can be done on as little as 1/4 of an acre, and discover how simple it is to transition your own yard into a personal foraging forest.

Plus, one attendee will win a FREE, one hour EYG consultation at your home. Will it be you?
