Our downfall as a species is that we are arrogant enough to think that we can control Mother Nature and stupid enough to think it is our job.

Let nature be in your yard.

No matter where you are you can grow something to eat. Shift your thinking and you'd be surprised at the places your food can be grown! Window sill, fire escape and rooftop gardens have the same potential to provide impressive harvests as backyard gardens, greenhouses and community spaces.

It takes effort to promote what you do until it becomes habit.

Creating your own urban farm is as simple as planting your flowerbeds with edibles.

I believe that virtually everyone has the ability to either grow some food at home, or to find an appropriate location to start a garden. I may sound like a kook who plants my landscape with cucumbers instead of carnations, peppers instead of petunias, and fruit trees rather than ficus, but I am convinced that wherever you go, you can grow food! Now is the time for us to join together and plant the seeds that will transform the places in which we live.
