What is edible landscaping?

Edible landscaping is the use of food-producing plants in the constructed landscape, principally the residential landscape. Edible landscapes combine fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and ornamental plants into aesthetically pleasing designs. These designs can incorporate any garden style and can include anywhere from 1-100% edible species.

Why landscape with edibles?

There are many reasons to incorporate edible plants into the residential landscape.

These include:

-To enjoy the freshness and flavor of home-grown, fully ripened fruits and vegetables

-To control the quantity and kind of pesticides and -To increase the food security of your household

-To save on grocery bills

-To grow unusual varieties not available in stores

-To get outside, interact with the natural world, and have fun.
