The book focuses more on the value of gardening and green living rather than providing detailed instructions. It offers many ideas to implement, but readers may need to seek additional resources for thorough guidance. The book is worth reading, though it could have more focus on options for renters.
The book 'Food Not Lawns' by Heather Flores emphasizes the benefits of gardening and sustainable living, but it falls short in providing detailed instructions for the projects it suggests. This can be frustrating for readers looking for step-by-step guidance. However, the book is rich with ideas that inspire and motivate, even if further research is needed to implement them. The resources appendix is a helpful addition for those seeking more in-depth information. One notable gap is the lack of focus on options for renters, which limits the book's practicality for those who do not own their living space. Despite this, the book is a valuable read for anyone interested in transforming their yard into a garden and their neighborhood into a community.
Quick quotes
The title is a bit misleading - the book focuses far more on the value of gardening and other aspects of green living than on instructions on how to do so.
However, it did give me a lot of ideas I want to try and implement, albeit I want to search for more thorough information elsewhere.
I do wish, though, that more had been focused on things renters could do
