Reviews"Landscape designer Christian Douglas's new book is packed with ideas for beautifully growing vegetables, herbs, and fruit all over your yard."-- Better Homes & Gardens, "The Food Forward Garden: A Complete Guide to Designing and Growing Edible Landscapes by Christian Douglas shows that it's not necessary to reserve a portion of a yard for a vegetable garden. Instead, a home gardener can enhance a yard's beauty by strategically planting fruit trees and vines, vegetables and herbs throughout the landscaping."-- California Bountiful Magazine, "This book combines the satisfaction of growing your own food with real practicality and beauty."-- Kim Wilkie, landscape architect, "It's rare to find someone who has observed so many horticultural traditions around the world and can also bring home the simple pleasure of a backyard tomato. In this book, Christian Douglas does it beautifully."-- Stephen Orr, garden writer and editor, "His book is excellently designed and its many colour pictures are superb. Dirtiness and failure are nowhere in evidence, but images of perfection set a standard that will up our aims." -- Financial Times, "Christian Douglas shows us the wide range of what he calls 'food forward' gardens, in which the food is brought forward rather than being hidden away in a back vegetable patch. The vegetable garden never looked so good."-- Gardenista, "When Christian was done with my ordinary wine country house, I was surrounded by magical, lush, delicious gardens. It has been beyond life-changing to eat the healthiest fare from our own small piece of land in a setting as beautiful as Napa Valley itself. Christian and his team are creative innovators who love to teach us all a better way to live."-- Sheri Salata, author, speaker, and producer
