Descripción

What if your yard could feed your family, support pollinators and regenerate the soil...all at the same time? In this episode, we explore the concept of the edible yard and how homeowners can transform ordinary lawns into thriving foodscapes using organic gardening and permaculture principles. Our guest is Ingrid Fromm, a certified permaculture designer and the founder of Ralstead Foodscapes in Raleigh, North Carolina. Ingrid helps people create beautiful, productive landscapes that grow food, support biodiversity, and work with nature instead of against it. Through regenerative gardening practices, companion planting, native plants, and pollinator-friendly design, Ingrid shows homeowners that you don't need to be an expert to start growing food, you just need to start.
