This spring we’re thinking about edible gardens. And what, you might well ask, is the difference between an edible garden and the one you got started last weekend? Technically speaking, an edible garden is any garden in which things you can eat grow. But for our purposes, edible gardens are a kind of hybrid in the world of landscape design; it’s an attempt to marry the best elements of one variety with another in order to maximize a desired outcome. In the case of edible gardens, it’s the marriage of all that appeals to the senses with the practical and functional aspects of design. Here are a few wonderful plants to consider. Bon Appetit!
