A front yard garden of tree collards and other delights found while walking through West Oakland Do you remember the last time you took enjoyment out of a lawn? They're a lot of work to tame/maintain , not especially pleasing visually , and are honestly a bit boring. Wouldn't it be cool if you could replace your dead grass with some yummy high-y ield leafy greens , fruit trees, and berry bushes? You don't even need to pay money to get rid of the lawn --cover it up with containers or raised beds and forget it exists . Imagine entire neighborhoods full of life, color, and edible landscaping. This would solve the problem of food deserts (neighborhoods without any grocery stores or with a lack of fresh produce), allow residents to grow their own nutritious vegetables and fruits which will save money on food bills, and utilize space that is already there ! You can make new friends anytime someone walks by to admire the sight, develop a good rapport with other grower
