Edible landscaping is creating and designing an area to best produce food, creating a beautiful garden full of edible plants. It is the creation of an area that is not only sustainable but also a beautiful and functional garden.
Many people would think of a vegetable patch as a purely practical garden or landscape area, useful but not attractive, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Many fruits and vegetables are a part of beautiful plants and trees and often produce beautiful flowers, and when the fruits and vegetables are planted at particular times, you can guarantee that different parts of the edible landscape will produce flowers at different times, offering an ever-changing landscape of nourishment and beauty.
