Edible Garden Landscaping is a different way to think about your yard, vegetable garden, potted plants... even your flower gardens. Edible gardens add as much beauty to your yard as traditional landscaping, but they have the added benefit of producing delicious fruits and vegetables for you to enjoy.
There's always room for plants.
Even if you live in an apartment or have limited space for growing plants, you can plant a container garden. Horticulturists and gardeners are continuously developing plant hybrids that thrive in containers - from staples like strawberries, tomatoes and herbs to new container-friendly plants like eggplant, blueberries and even citrus trees.
Start at the ground level.
There are a multitude of choices for edible ground cover. Thyme, strawberries, low-growing blueberries, a variety of greens with beautiful colors and textures, are just a few of the options.
Bushes, shrubs, & hedges...oh my!
Fruit bushes flower in the spring, produce fruit, and often have stunning fall foilage. What more could you ask for in a shrub for your front yard garden?
Trees Can Provide More than Shade
When choosing trees for your yard, think beyond wanting shade. There are many varieties of fruit and nut trees to choose from that will thrive in a garden landscape.
