The Edible Estates project proposes the replacement of the domestic front lawn with a highly productive edible landscape. It was initiated by architect and artist Fritz Haeg on Independence Day, 2005, with the planting of the first regional prototype garden in the geographic center of the United States, Salina, Kansas. Since then three more prototype gardens have been created, in Lakewood, California; Maplewood, New Jersey; and London, England. Edible Estates regional prototype gardens are planned for Austin, Texas and Baltimore, Maryland for 2008, and will ultimately be established in nine cities across the United States.
