  • The Edible Landscape the Edible Landscape
    foodscaping: the edible landscape The Edible Landscape dible landscapes put us back in touch with the land we live on, the people around us, and the food we eat. E Maybe you’re interested in incorporating edible plants into your existing landscape or planning on designing a new section of your yard for both beauty and function. By utilizing the most effective water efficient methods, you can work within your city’s watering guidelines and grow some of your own food. No matter who you are, there is a style of edible gardening to meet your needs, suit your taste, and capture your imagination. A Shift in Perception While it was once common practice to maintain a yard consisting primarily of turfgrass (managed to be both labor and resource intensive), many people are opting to transition a portion of their landscape into vegetable, fruit, or nut production. The latest studies report that as many as 35% of American households are now growing at least some of their own food - the largest numbers in more than a decade. Why mow it, when you can grow it? Planning and Design Just like any other addition to your property, it is important to put some thought into the design of your edible garden or landscape in order to give you the best chance for success. Plant your food with an eye for the overall beauty of the landscape in mind. Defining Style Naturalistic - meandering lines flow organically through the landscape, reminiscent of the lines one might see in nature. Structured - clean, precisely manicured lines divide landscape sections Location: Right Plant, handle growing in areas strictly ornamental plants.

  • Seeds with Stories: Old Salem Gathers Family Heirlooms by Martha B
    Magnolia grandiflora The Laurel Tree of Carolina Publication of the Southern Garden Catesby’s NaturalM History, 1743 agnoliaHistory Society Vol. XXVIII No. 4 Fall 2015 Seeds with Stories: Old Salem Gathers Family Heirlooms By Martha B. Hartley, Winston-Salem, NC Family heirlooms bring to mind cherished things such as grandmother’s silver, an ancestor’s portrait, a beloved needlepoint piece, or a fine walnut corner cupboard. But also, family heirlooms may include seed that has been planted, saved, and passed down over the course of many generations. Such heirlooms are precious carriers of his- tory, memory, tradition, and relationship, each with a unique story. Unfortunately, those family treasures become rarer as the traditional practice of seed saving is affected by the modern world. For thousands of years, people have been saving and sharing seed and a vast biodiversity has been created, but lifestyle changes have diminished this ancient practice. Industrial agriculture, population movement from rural areas into cities, and increasing challenges to seed sover- eignty have contributed to the decline worldwide.

  • The Sprouting Farms: You Are What You Grow
    humanities Article The Sprouting Farms: You Are What You Grow Jamie Wang School of Philosophy and Historical Inquiry, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Sydney, Camperdown, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia; [email protected] Abstract: In 2017, the Singaporean government unveiled the Farm Transformation Map, a highly technology-driven initiative that intends to change its current, near-total dependence on imported food. The plan focuses on the prospect of high-productivity farming—in particular, integrated vertical, indoor, and intensive urban farming—as a possible solution to geopolitical uncertainty, intense urbanisation, and environmental degradation. What to farm (or not) and how to farm has long mediated social, cultural, political, and environmental relations. Following the stories of a few small- to medium-scale urban farms, including rooftop gardens, community farms, and organic farms, in this future-oriented city polis, this article explores the rise of urban farming through the politics of localism and the notion of care. How has localism, in some contexts, been reduced to a narrow sense of geographic location? What is being cared for in and through farming in urban locales? How might this type of farming transform and shape bio-cultural, social-technological relations within humans, and between humans and non-humans? More importantly, this article explores how urban agriculture might forge a kind of thick localism rooted in situated care as it carries out social missions, experimenting with and subverting the dominant imaginary of industrial farming. Keywords: urban agriculture; environmental humanities; care; localism; more-than-human urbanism; Singapore 1. Introduction Citation: Wang, Jamie. 2021.

This publication provides recommendations to manage food gardens in an environmentally friendly way guided by the nine FFL principles (https://ffl.ifas.ufl.edu/homeown- ers/nine_principles.htm). By following the nine FFL principles, you can produce vegetables, herbs, and fruits in a way that conserves water and reduces pesticide and fertilizer use. There are many different terms for edible landscaping, such as foodscaping, food forest, permaculture, square-foot gardening, and urban agriculture. However, the FFL principles represent best management practices that can be applied to all types of edible landscapes. This publication is for Floridians interested in expanding their own edible landscapes, with Figure 1. Pineapples are a versatile edible landscape choice in parts of information about creating a backyard garden that delivers Florida with milder winters.

Why do we welcome some larger animals to our garden while calling others "nuisances"? Why are some plants considered "desirable" while others are "weeds"? In this myth -busting talk, learn how common gardening methods perpetuate misperceptions about the wild species living among us. Discover practical ways to put humane gardening philosophies into action by protecting nesting sites, eliminating unintended hazards, identifying and nurturing plants that provide food and shelter, and humanely resolving conflicts with mammals and other commonly misunderstood creatures. 10:15 Break 10:30 Brie Arthur—Foodscaping in the Northern Neck “Garden to Table” is the best way to describe horticulturist Brie Arthur's signature design technique of Foodscaping. She aims to reinvent the existing landscapes in suburban neighborhoods, office parks, school campuses, and retirement communities through the thoughtful inclusion of edibles alongside ornamental plants. With an education in design, an enthusiasm for gardening, and a hunger for local, organically raised produce, Brie sees that there is potential to grow food in every cultivated space. Foodscaping is a design strategy meant to empower home growers by connecting sustainable food production to the everyday landscape. Edibles enhance landscapes by providing a unique seasonal component with a multitude of health and economic benefits. In her lively webinar, Brie will explain exactly how to create a foodscape that will be both beautiful and bountiful.
