Description
Award-winning landscape designer Christian Douglas presents a fresh approach to vegetable gardening, elevating the design of outdoor spaces with edible landscapes. His debut book showcases various ways to incorporate produce into your outdoor spaces, from a three-tiered terraced bed to a forager's paradise in a suburban plot. Douglas shares his own garden in Marin County as a studio/classroom, introducing readers to essential tools and techniques for planting, growing, and harvesting a variety of vegetables, fruits, berries, and herbs. He provides guidance on evaluating lighting and soil conditions, choosing plants suitable for your climate, and discovering edible swaps for common landscape plants. The possibilities for food-forward design are limitless, and Douglas's expertise offers a comprehensive guide for those looking to create a productive and stylish outdoor space.
