A basket of blueberries or a fresh fig make visits into your yard a delicious journey. There are so many great reasons to grow edible plants into your landscape—the fabulous flavor is just the finishing touch. The real question is this: What will your edible garden look like this summer?
Weaving
fruit trees, berry plants and herbs into your landscape gives you even more opportunities to grow a bountiful harvest. Accent attractive garden hedges with statement plantings of
a ‘Little Miss Figgy’ Dwarf Fig or the dark red foliage of
Hello Darlin'® Blueberry.
Or raise your game with raised beds to create safe growing spaces. Raised beds bring the plantings closer to you for less bending and kneeling, and also lift your hard-earned fruit and vegetable harvest away from splashing soil, keeping it clean for the eating.
Sometimes all we have is a balcony, porch or a sunny spot of space. A
Chef's Choice Culinary Rosemary in a garden container is a great example of growing how and wherever you have space.
