Transforming Florida Yards offers readers a way to easily grow edible plants by creating a natural ecosystem.
Often, Food forests even take care of their own fertilization and pest control! Empowered with easy-to-follow, one-page reference sheets for 200 plants (with corresponding hardiness zone, recipes, cultural information, and landscaping design tips), readers will quickly watch their lawns transform into a gorgeous, yet edible paradise..
Most plants in a Food Forest are long-lived and low maintenance.
Thanks to ample rainfall and warm temperatures, Florida is the perfect state for growing produce, herbs, and other edibles year-round.
Backyard gardens also lower the risk of Food insecurity and help prepare communities for continuous climate change.
Permaculture, or the process of working with nature rather than against it, teaches affordable, sustainable, and research-based ways to beautify surroundings.
All one needs to successfully begin their Food Forest is a lawn and this book! Knowing which plants grow in each part of the state (north, central, and south) simplifies steps to create a flourishing garden.
