Join Jill Cloutier of Sustainable World Radio for 
an interview  with permaculture teacher and 
author Heather Flores of Food Not Lawns How to 
Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your 
Neighborhood into a Community 
www.foodnotlawns.com. Heather holds a BA degree 
in ecology, education, and the arts from Goddard College.
Gardening can be a political act. Creativity, 
fulfillment, connection, revolution—it all begins 
when we get our hands in the dirt.

Food Not Lawns combines practical wisdom on 
ecological design and community-building with a 
fresh, green perspective on an age-old subject. 
Activist and urban gardener Heather Flores shares 
her nine-step permaculture design to help 
farmsteaders and city dwellers alike build 
fertile soil, promote biodiversity, and increase 
natural habitat in their own “paradise gardens.”

But Food Not Lawns doesn’t begin and end in the 
seed bed. This joyful permaculture lifestyle 
manual inspires readers to apply the principles 
of the paradise garden—simplicity, 
resourcefulness, creativity, mindfulness, and 
community—to all aspects of life. Plant “guerilla 
gardens” in barren intersections and medians; 
organize community meals; start a street theater 
troupe or host a local art swap; free your 
kitchen from refrigeration and enjoy truly fresh, 
nourishing foods from your own plot of land; work 
with children to create garden play spaces.

Flores cares passionately about the damaged state 
of our environment and the ills of our throwaway 
society. In Food Not Lawns, she shows us how to 
reclaim the earth one garden at a time.
