• My Ordinary Extraordinary Yard, By Greg Peterson
You can create your own urban farm. Creating your own urban farm is as simple as planting you flowerbeds with edibles. The payoffs can include home grown food and a deeper connection to the earth. In this unique mini-book, Greg Peterson shares how his yard went from grass and hedges to his very own Urban Farm, full of vegetables and fruit trees with plenty to share. His motto ‘food grows abundantly – lets grow it and give it away.’ This insightful book about how Greg’s Urban Farm came to be will inspire you to create your own urban farm.

Hey all,

A few years back I dreamed of an idea for a series of books that I am calling the Simple Sustainability Series.  Simply put (and no pun intended), they are a series of book designed to simply explain the whole notion of living green and sustainably.  My first two offering are My Ordinary Extraordinary Yard, which is the story of how the Urban farm came to be and Fowl Play, a book on keeping chickens in the city.

Needless to say I am very excited.  Please check out the listings on our YourGuidetoGreen.com site (see Latest Products section) and as a limited time special offer pre-order both of them for $10, including shipping!
