I have a pie shaped lot, with most of the lawn in the front. I think it would benefit from your edible estate idea.
I am really intrigued by some of the pictures of designs.

My property is in New Hyde Park, Long Island; typically suburban, the lawn is very uninteresting, and consumes lots of water without even growing a good crop of grass.

Please consider me a very interested, willing candidate.

I live in NJ and am very interested in creating an edible front lawn. Would be nice to have some generalized guidance/plans of lay out and crops. Any possibility?

I noticed on the original post from 2005 there were a number of people concerned with the aesthetics of a front yard edible garden.

I once stayed at the Sooke Harbor House B&B in Victoria BC (http://www.sookeharbourhouse.com/west_coast_organic_gardens.htm) and they grow almost all of the food that they serve in their restaurant. EVERYTHING they grow has an edible component and their “landscaping” was some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

If anyone is concerned about the aesthetics I recommend they check out the website for some inspiration on how an edible estate can look.

I would love to have a conversation about what you are doing and see if we are a good match. Please visit our website and take a look at The James Dean House, our recently completed green restoration/expansion of a 1860’s Victorian in the charming hamlet of Rosemont. I look forward to hearing from you, Take care, Lise Thompson
