Touring a front yard vegetable garden
Burpee Home Gardens | 2 Comments
 

During a visit to the Chicago area for a taping of "Growing a Greener World," executive producer and host Joe Lamp'l talked with us about Shawna Coronado’s front yard vegetable garden.

In the video here, he walks us through some of the varieties she planted, how she organized everything, and how an edible vegetable garden can be beautiful and practical … and perfect for the front yard!

What a bold idea Shawna and a great teaching tool. I will remember this garden idea and use it in a NC garden in the future.
