Lawns into Lunch

Growing food in the city

Lawns into Lunch is about 22 people who discovered how to grow nutritious organic food from every spare centimetre of soil they could lay their hands on in the city.

Some of these gardeners live in units, some in terraces with tiny narrow backyards and their accommodation is often rented.

In this book, the gardeners share their mistakes, their lucky breaks, their discoveries, their clever inventions and time saving devices, their recipes and simple, inexpensive construction techniques. It is well illustrated with colour photographs and has numerous easy to notice fact boxes.
