Product Description

Coming soon: Edible Landscapes.

Transform your yard into a living pantry. Learn how to design a beautiful, sustainable garden that’s as productive as it is gorgeous.

Imagine a magazine that isn’t just about beautiful gardens, but about beautiful, functional landscapes that feed our communities. A magazine that showcases lush food forests, innovative educational spots, and hands-on workshops that empower people to grow their own food. This is the vision of Steve Fawcett, the ideas person behind the Edible Landscapes Project, a movement dedicated to fostering kai resilience throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand.

The project and its magazine serve as a hub for all things related to edible landscapes. It’s a place to celebrate the spaces where food and beauty converge, transforming traditional gardens into productive, sustainable ecosystems.

What You’ll Find Inside:

• Showcasing Gardens and Food Forests: The magazine highlights inspiring edible landscapes from around the country. From small urban backyards to expansive community food forests, each feature tells a story of transformation and abundance. You’ll learn about permaculture principles in action, and how these spaces not only provide fresh produce but also support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
• Educational Spots and Workshops: The project believes that growing your own food should be an accessible and empowering experience for everyone. The magazine shines a spotlight on educational initiatives, from school gardens that teach children about where food comes from to workshops that equip adults with the skills to design and maintain their own edible landscapes.
• A Focus on Kai Resilience: The core of the Edible Landscapes Project is about building resilient communities. By encouraging the creation of local food sources, the project helps reduce reliance on long-distance food chains and promotes a stronger connection between people and their food. The magazine explores how these initiatives contribute to food security, environmental sustainability, and a healthier future for all New Zealanders.

The Edible Landscapes Project is more than just a magazine; it’s a call to action. It’s an invitation to get your hands dirty, to learn, to share, and to be part of a growing movement that is planting the seeds for a more resilient and delicious future, one garden at a time.
