I came upon this website/post/page/idea this week, and I thought it was really cool. I hope to eventually do something like this with my yard.

I don't know if I would put it in my front yard, because of the potential for it to get ruined or stolen from. Some of the plants listed here I don't eat so much, so I'd maybe put those ones in the front, as well as the ones that are easy to pick from/hard to break. I think this concept would also go well in a small community garden, so long as most/all of the participants understood how to properly maintain the plants they were picking from so that they weren't damaged or uncared for.
Seeing things like this make me wish that I didn't live n an apartment building, or that there was space in my apartment building to grow things. It would be so great to have something like this on the top of the MHC, where students can sign up for garden plots just like they can sign up for mailboxes. We might even be able to put a greenhouse thing up there. Maybe that will be a senior project of mine, even though they'd never let me do it. =) Anyway, I thought it was worth a look.
