Easy Edible Landscapes: Add a Beautiful Food Garden to Your Yard in Just 14 Days

By Patricia Loofbourrow

The no-fluff ebook companion to my 14-day self-study course, designed to help you enhance your existing landscaping with beautiful food plants you and your neighbors will love - in less than an hour a day.

- Use your current irrigation and hardscape - no construction and minimal digging
- Keep the weeds and pests that plague your neighbors' gardens away from yours with easy techniques from nature

Guidance on choosing

- delicious, easy to care for plants for your zone or location,
- that fit your dietary needs,
- in colors, shapes, and textures you love,
- that make your home and yard look even better

Without rows, boxes, back-breaking labor, or heavy equipment (unless that's what you want!)

Using simple methods anyone can learn, I went from a few ugly weed-choked boxes in the backyard to a beautiful front yard edible garden. You can too!
