Stealth Foodscaping: How to Grow an Edible Front Yard That Passes HOA Inspections
Your HOA bans vegetable gardens. Your front yard gets all the sun. This book is how those two facts stop being a problem.
The growers who never get violation letters are not hiding. They are designing. A bed of rainbow chard with a steel edge and one clean mulch reads as landscaping. The same chard in bare dirt reads as a violation. This honest, design-first guide teaches the difference, in plain language. General educational information, not legal advice.
Inside:
- How to read your CC&Rs and architectural guidelines like a detective
- The law, honestly: why state garden laws restrain governments, not private HOAs, and why design and diplomacy win
- The stealth design principles: hard edging, symmetry, one mulch, massing, and height layering
- The plant roster: herbs as borders, rainbow chard, purple basil, ornamental peppers, blueberry shrubs, and more
- The tidy-maintenance calendar, and exactly what to do if a violation letter arrives
Stay so tidy you never get the letter. Design your first bed this season.
