Show Notes
Wondering about adding edible plants to an existing gardening without spoiling the aesthetic?
With the right plant choice, along with an understanding of how the space is used, you can add edible plants without spoiling the looks.
In this episode, we take a public space and reimagine it with edibles.
It’s a big space, with lots of lawn. We talk about plant choice for this shady spot, and about plant placement that doesn’t interfere with how this space is used. We include:
- Edibles as bedding plants
- Using height to make a focal point
- Edibles for colour
- Edible perennials
- Fruit for shade
