Edible & Medicinal Plants
Edible landscaping is the use of food producing plants in the landscape design. Edible landscapes combine berries, herbs, fruit, nuts, vegetables, edible flowers and ornamentals into a beautiful landscape design. Many of these plants are aesthetically pleasing and produce delicious produce at the same time. Implementing an edible landscape can save you grocery money, provide you with food security and control the amount of herbicides and pesticides found in food from the store. By incorporating edibles into your landscape you can enjoy food produced in your own backyard (or front yard) and develop a healthy relationship with your outdoor spaces.
