Imagine if all front lawns could be this beautiful -- and edible!
Patti Silva Hicks reasoned that "you cant eat grass- why not have some fruit trees instead?"
It didn't stop there. This exquisite front yard is packed with plum, orange, cherry and lime trees but also broccoli, cucumbers, raspberries, pumpkin, squash, onions, heirloom tomatoes, and the most fantastic "hedges" made of peppers and flowers!
She figures the water may as well go to something important, and has swapped mowing for weeding. We know it's a great move. Something will have profoundly shifted when people with front yards all over the world discover the sensibility of transforming your front lawn into a garden.
What makes this extra inspiring is that it is designed with such imagination. It's as charming as a fairy tale candy cane house - but with fruits, vegetables and flowers instead, exploding in charming, colorful arrangements everywhere! Welcome Home!
