Edible Landscapes, Therapeutic Gardens, and Extrodinary Spaces


What if you could turn your yard into an edible landscape with fruits, vegetables, herbs and beautiful flowers with a comfortable sofa next to a firepit under a pergola? Or imagine walking into your backyard and smell the aroma of lavender, lemongrass or sweet basil, then staring at a beautiful waterfalls creating a natural "white noise" due to the many water droplets hitting different surfaces at various frequencies.

Well, stop dreaming and start planning today!

Edible landscaping, also known as foodscaping, brings more homegrown foods into your life while beautifying your home landscaping. And it’s easier than you think! While a lush green lawn is lovely in its own way, edible landscaping is, as gardening expert Rosalind Creasy says, “a much more noble use of the soil.”​

What Is Edible Landscaping?

Edible landscaping is using vegetables, fruits and herbs along with ornamental plants and grasses to landscape your yard. Grounded in the tradition of the Victory Gardens of World War II, edible landscaping allows you to keep your yard green and growing while enjoying a delicious harvest.

Some of the principles used in edible landscape practices include creating a harmonious balance among the components of your garden that will allow you to create an attractive combination of flowers, herbs and vegetables.

Keep in mind, the purpose of an edible garden is to create a landscape that is beautiful and productive in all seasons. When creating a new edible garden, you can choose between two approaches: integration or substitution.

The integration approach involves keeping the basic layout of your current garden but looking for spaces to fill with edibles.

The substitution approach involves replacing some of your current plantings with edibles.

There are innumerable benefits to edible landscaping. The main benefit is getting to use your yard as a productive space to grow nutrient-dense, super local, yummy fruits, vegetables, and herbs. And as with any gardening you do at home, you get to try a range of foods that might not be readily available (or might be very expensive) at your local stores, like turnips and cauliflower, broccoli leaves, nasturtiums, edible flowers, and more.
