Brie Arthur and The Foodscape Revolution

“Brie Arthur is my go-to expert for all things foodscaping. Her experience, talent and passion for designing edible landscapes is second to none. I’m constantly amazed by Brie’s ability and vision for making any plantable space attractive and productive.”

~ Joe Lamp’l, Producer and Host of Growing a Greener World^®

“The Foodscape Revolution is aimed to empower people living in neighborhoods with outdated HOA restrictions that say ‘no food in the front yard.’ Brie Arthur’s design strategy is a way to follow the rules while making the most of the landscape that exists.”

~ Rosalind Creasy, author of Edible Landscaping and Recipes from the Garden

“The term ‘revolution’ is used far too casually today. Very seldom do we see a trend become a movement, then become part of our vocabulary. Brie Arthur has not only been the leader of the foodscape revolution, she is also its face and voice. This is one book that needed to be written.”

~ Allan M. Armitage, Professor Emeritus of Horticulture, University of Georgia

“Few garden movements have combined the burgeoning desire of people to take control of their food sources while still creating beautiful and functional garden spaces, even as our landscapes are shrinking. Brie is leading the way in the foodscape revolution with bounteous borders of vegetables and flowering perennials, grains and showy shrubs – and she makes it all seem so easy.”

~ Mark Weathington, Director, JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State University

“This book ushers in a new era of gardening – one where beauty and food grow side-by-side and creativity is not just appreciated, it’s encouraged. The Foodscape Revolution shows us how to make our landscape sing!”

~ Jessica Walliser, horticulturist, radio host, and author of Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden and Good Bug Bad Bug

“No longer must food gardening be relegated to a separate part of the garden and ornamentals and flowers to a foundation planting. In The Foodscape Revolution, Brie invites us to join her cause: marrying all plant types together as one big happy family, with the homeowner being the recipient of all its glorious bounty.”

~ Maria Zampini, President, UpShoot LLC

“Brie Arthur transformed her own yard into a beautiful edible haven. Now, she urges us to consider how much food can be grown in the open mulched spaces in our own yards – or on school campuses, in parks, outside office buildings, senior centers and new housing developments.

~ Ira Wallace, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, author of The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Gardening in the Southeast

“Read just a few pages of this exciting new book and you will be energized to try new things in the garden – like, why not use lettuce as an edging or grains as a ‘thriller’ component? It makes so much sense to do away with the old notion of keeping your edible garden in the backyard.”

~ Diane Blazek, Executive Director, National Garden Bureau

“Brie Arthur’s foodscaping wisdom and creativity shine through in this indispensable book. Integrating edibles with ornamental plants maximizes the purpose of cultivating the Earth in such a way that aids our species in lasting into the indefinite future.”

~ Will Hooker, Professor Emeritus, NC State Department of Horticulture and Certified PINA Permaculture Designer and Teacher

“In The Foodscape Revolution, you will discover a cornucopia of ideas to transform your garden into an edible wonderland! You’ll be inspired by seeing the impact that foodscaping can have on your life, your community and your environment.”

~ Jared Barnes, Ph.D., Professor at Stephen F. Austin State University

“Thanks to Brie Arthur, our school garden at Dorothy L. Bullock Elementary School has become a foodscape haven for the children and residents of Glassboro, New Jersey. Through Brie’s devotion to helping our children fall in love with gardening, our innovative programs have been recognized by the NJ Department of Agriculture and won the very first Jersey Fresh Farm-to-School award. Bullock Children’s Garden has become a model for other schools.”

~ Sonya Harris, Special Educator & Lead Coordinator of The Bullock Children’s Garden/Glassboro Public Schools Garden Initiative
