Edible landscaping - more than a hobby
Posted by Cecilia under: Home .
With May comes the warm weather and for some people the desire to have in their garden vegetables and fruits. This kind of garden where edible plants are planted together with flowers is now being referred to as edible landscaping. The idea of edible landscaping originally comes from ancient Egypt where flowers were combined with grape arbors and vines. A scenery to sit outside and to enjoy!
No matter how small your garden is and no matter if you live in warm or cool regions, you can create an edible landscaping with fruit-bearing shrubs, herbs and vegetables quite easily. By doing it you create an organic harvest for your kitchen and a beautiful view in your yard.
In these times with food getting more and more expensive it can be useful to know a couple of tricks and tips to lay out a garden. I found some really good ideas to get started with an edible garden by Marion Owen’s free landscaping ideas “Plantea“.
Working in the garden, “keeping your hands dirty” gives a good feeling of being connected to the nature around us. Having an edible landscape also makes us aware of the preciousness of our daily food.

we always redo our landscape every 2 or 3 months to adapt to the changing weather.’*;
