Edible Landscaping

Edible landscaping is the practice of integrating food-producing plants, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers, into ornamental garden designs. This approach combines aesthetics with functionality, creating landscapes that are both beautiful and productive. Examples of edible plants used in landscaping include blueberry bushes, kale, and marigolds. Edible landscaping projects involve designing a layout that balances visual appeal with the practical needs of growing food, such as sunlight, water, and soil fertility. The integration of edible plants into traditional garden settings can also support pollinators and promote biodiversity. Edible landscaping is a sustainable gardening practice that allows homeowners to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce while enhancing the beauty of their outdoor spaces.
