EDIBLES FOR THE LANDSCAPE^©

As the farm to table movement takes hold across America, home gardeners and landscapers are becoming more aware of the local food movement. Local food may mean from a specified geographic region or even from a home garden. An edible garden does not necessarily have to be relegated to a separate plot in the backyard. Edible plants can easily be incorporated into any landscape design. A well-rounded landscape design includes several elements including: trees, shrubs, flowers, groundcovers, and foliage. There are many examples of edible plants that fulfill each of these landscape elements.
