Foodscape Gardens
Transform a landscape into a stunning foodscape and reap the benefits of what you grow by adding edible vegetables and herbs.
DESIGN – Plan your design, look at the contrast color, height, and placement of the plants, select vegetables and combine them with ornamentals to cohabitate and grow together.
BED DESIGN – Raise the soil of the bed to at least 30 inches and amend the soil with a soil conditioner and loosen it before planting (Foodscaping can also be created by planting in raised beds or containers)
