820: The Edible Landscape Project A Garden Chat with Joan Baron.In This Garden Chat:

Join Farmer Greg and Joan Baron as they explore how Joan took an often overlooked area around her property and turned it into a lush garden. She transformed the alley behind her house into a lush garden that the city, neighbors and community are raving about. Listen and find out how you can do the same.

Our Special Guest:

Joan Baron is an environmental artist and community activist whose passion lies in exploring and digging deep into Earth's materials to design and build gardens. She conceived the Edible Landscape Project in 2008 as a response to seeing too many desert yards growing grass with no human engagement.

The Food in the Alley initiative grew out of her desire to continue studying and experimenting with growing food in Arizona. Alleys have traditionally been unattractive and undesirable spaces. Joan saw her alley as an opportunity to grow more food for people, bees, and butterflies.
