Planting an Edible Front Yard - Irving

*part of Irving’s Urban Farming Lecture Series

The front lawn was the great symbol of the American dream of homeownership.  Connecting home to home from coast to coast, it was originally conceived as a common green.  But, now it’s become clear that it is more wasteful than useful.  Consuming vast amounts of resources including water and time and gives little in return.  This class is for those brave enough to step out of the common front yard box and into the world of the “edible” and useful front yard.
