Permaculture Yards

Can you make your yard beautiful, useable and producing food all at the same time? Some Edmontonians are changing their front yards into large beautiful gardens that produce food for themselves and their communities. The vegetable garden in no longer just for the corner of the back yard. Permaculture is a combining of permanent and agriculture. Taking away the manicured lawn and replacing it with sustainable fruit and vegetable plants.

There are many resources available to help you transform your yard with permaculture.
