She discusses seed saving, and storing enough seeds so everyone in your neighborhood can be gardening if need be.

A diagram shows where over 80 plants are located in six or seven vertical layers. Tall fruit trees, flowers, a grape arbor, herbs, berries, small vegetables, and ground cover are abundant.
