Edible Landscaping with Rosalind Creasy

In October The Garden Writers Association inducted me into their Hall of Fame.

Rosalind’s latest article is titled “Grow $700 of Food in 100 Square Feet.” It is featured in the December 2009/January 2010 issue of Mother Earth News. You can read the complete article online HERE. I have uploaded some additional information to this website, which can be found under the Featured Content Section HERE.

Additionally, in the Mother Earth News article I promised to make an Excel spreadsheet available that can be used to track garden productivity on your own! You can access the sheet by clicking on the link below:

Another feature in the same issue of Mother Earth News includes my photographs of Heirloom Fruits & Vegetables featuring the Seedsaver’s Exchange.

After 5 and a half years of research, which included travels to 49 states, visits to countless restaurant, home,  and botanical gardens,   photography, and writing — the photos have been submitted, the manuscript is finished and now we’re just cleaning up the last details.  The official publication date is November 1, 2010. I know it’s really going to happen because the book is already available for pre-order on Amazon!  Edible Landscaping is a total revision of my 1982 book, perhaps prematurely titled, The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping.  It includes 300 color photos and updated organic growing information.

My lecture schedule for next Spring is starting to take shape and it starts where it should…at EcoFarm, the annual organic farming conference where I spoke 25 years ago on the same subject of Edible Landscaping.  I’m excited to still be a part of this edible revolution.  Keep checking the website as I will be updating my speaking calendar in a few weeks.
