A New Generation

A new generation of vegetable gardeners is transforming the urban environment and the way we are thinking about food. They are planting on boulevards, digging garden plots in city parks, tearing the sod out of their back yards and even their front yards and filling their balconies with pots full of herbs and greens. It’s the young, the urban, the cool. And the rest of us, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Countless winter hours are being spent on sketching garden spaces and planning crops by the square foot . Groups of people are working together, around the country, to maximize their productivity and reduce their carbon footprint, using the principles of permaculture to create a sustainable urban ecosystem.

 

Vegetable Gardening is Up 53% In US

The number of households that report having a vegetable garden is now 53 per cent in the United States, according to the 2010 Summer Gardening Trends Research Report, issued regularly by the Garden Writers Association Foundation. That’s up from 38 per cent in 2009 and Canadians appear to be in lockstep with their southern neighbours.

Homeowners Growing More Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs

According to the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, homeowners are growing more of their own food – more herbs, vegetables and fruit trees – both in dedicated vegetable gardens and mixed in the garden among flowers and shrubs.

* Sustainable Containers

For small space gardens, retirees, schools and othergrowing food in containers makes sense. Blended containers with herbs and veggies provide a one-two combo for freshness and convenience. And, containers blooming with natives, re-bloomers and ornamental grasses beautify spaces and benefit the environment.

* Growing Up With Vertical Gardening

“Vertical gardens are becoming increasingly popular and will grow far beyond anything we can envision,” says Joe Zazzera, with Plant Solutions, Inc. and Green Plants for Green Buildings (GPGB.org). “Businesses are seeing the productivity, environmental quality and return on investment that indoor plantings and vertical living walls are bringing to their projects.”

From containers with climbing vines, flowers and veggies to vertical walls blooming with edibles, plants are growing up.
