Flowers, Foliage, Food and Fun: The Edible Garden

Have you ever wanted to pick fresh fruits and vegetables from your own garden but just felt you didn’t have the room for rows of produce? Or you just don’t want to do all that work and buy expensive equipment. Don’t rent that tiller! Forget about raised beds sprawled across your lawn! Edible gardens or foodscaping is a method of incorporating edible plants with traditional ornamental landscape plants. Add the concept of layering and your garden can produce an abundance of food while supporting a sustainable ecosystem. Additional benefits of your edible garden include enhanced biodiversity, fresh, healthier food, not to mention the savings on your grocery bill.
