In "Groundbreaking Food Gardens," Niki Jabbour brings together 73 edible gardening designs from horticulturists, community gardeners, bloggers and print writers, television and radio hosts and other professional gardeners, with plans ranging from beginner container gardens to intensive food production plots.

Jessi Bloom brings edible gardening and chickens together in her partitioned garden. The centrally located chicken coop provides a safe place for “the ladies” to roost and has three doors, each leading to a different part of the garden. The chickens offer a continuous supply of free-range eggs and ample manure that is composted and turned back into the garden to enrich the food plants.

Notable Features

• Sustainable food forest design combines vegetable, fruit, and berry production with free-range chickens
• Features a central coop that opens into each of three sections for easy chicken rotation
• Conveniently placed composters turn chicken manure into a rich amendment for food crops
