I've been an organic food gardener since 1992. I became interested in landscaping with food plants in 2007. While I found many gardening sites online, there was little information for the home edible landscaper. What I did find was scattered among dozens of websites, and often directed at landscape professionals.

I have created this simple, easy to understand self-study workbook so you can begin your dream food landscape right away!

This fifth edition ebook contains 34 pages.

"Your workbook offers a great opportunity to assist beginners in walking through the design process without overwhelming them." -- Amy Stross, Cincinnati, OH (US)

This is a downloadable pdf ebook that you can read on your computer, phone, or tablet. You'll need the free Adobe Reader to read it on your computer.

I recommend that you print it out, put it in a three-ring binder, curl up on the couch and start. Once you get it, you'll see why!

You really could have your design done by this weekend.

Or ... you could spend

• hours searching out each piece of information yourself, and
• hours more trying to figure out what's important and what isn't

(like I did).

It's up to you.
