I saw this over at Inhabitat and wanted to make sure you all knew….
“Head’s up green thumbs and urban gardeners across the states! Do you have an extraordinary edible garden project that you’re dying to share with the world? Well now’s your chance because Fritz Haeg and crew are currently accepting submissions to include in the expanded 2010 edition of Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn. They’re looking for examples of “full frontal gardening” from a handful of locations across the US that transform lifeless front lawns into leafy green edible gardens. The deadline for submissions is coming up fast next Monday August 31st, so check to see if you’re in one of the applicable zones and submit your garden today!”
I saw this same competition from Edible Landscapes offered at the ASLA website and thought finally we might actually get some solid design submittals with a sense of strong design and excelled functional intent that won’t leave the surrounding neighbors feeling like their property values have just sunk due to poor planning and execution.
The few edible landscapes that I’ve seen by Mr. Haeg are poorly designed.
