It’s food. It’s art. It’s the Edible Estates garden series commissioned by the Walker Art Center.

And it could be your front yard.

Fritz Haeg, who grew up in the Twin Cities, is looking for a place to plant the last in his series of “Edible Estate Regional Prototype Gardens,” right here.

Edible Estates puts organic gardens outside homeowners’ front doors. Haeg started the series on July 4, 2005, with the planting of the first garden in Salina, Kan., the geographic center of the United States. Since then, others have been planted in Budapest, Istanbul, Rome, Ridgefield (Conn.), Manhattan, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Austin (Texas), London, Maplewood (N.J.), and Lakewood, (Calif.), plus Holon, Israel, and Aarhus, Denmark, coming later this spring.

If your yard is chosen, you help develop the design and planting list. Materials and expenses for the first growing season will be provided, but you have to commit to continuing the garden indefinitely. The plan is to remove the entire front lawn and plant over the weekend of May 2.

The garden will be documented through the first season in a journal by the owners, weekly photos and a video by the artist to be featured in the fall exhibition at the Walker Art Center opening Aug. 8, and a chapter in the expanded third edition of the book “Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn,” to be released late 2013.
