Cultivating a Suburban Foodshed - Owen Dell
25 minute video by Peak Moment TV
Yuba Gals Independent Media production partners Robyn Mallgren and Janaia Donaldson have been producing local video programs for community access television since 2002.
Landscape architect Owen Dell has a vision: transforming suburban neighborhoods into shared “foodsheds” with food-bearing and native plants, and even chickens. Neighbors can start by finding edible plants already growing in their yards, maybe remove fences, plant what works best in each location.
Best of all, share the resulting food abundance with one another (”Hey, it’s lemon time. Come and get ‘em!”) and build the social network with shared food potlucks. Tour Owen’s own edible landscape yard, including a rooftop container garden complete with visiting cat.
For over 35 years, award winning landscape architect and contractor Owen Dell of County Landscape and Design has been designing and building beautiful, sustainable and soul-satisfying residential and commercial landscapes. His web site is here.
