WSU Master Gardener Kamori Cattadoris presents Edible Landscaping, the use of food plants as design features in a landscape. These plants are used both for aesthetic value as well as consumption. Edible landscaping incorporates food-producing plants and flowers that you can eat. It combines fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, vegetables and herbs.

Learn why you may want to landscape with edibles; enjoy the freshness and flavor of home-grown, fully ripened fruits and vegetables, control the quantity and kind of pesticides and herbicides used on the foods you consume, increase the food security of your household, save on grocery bills, grow unusual varieties not available in stores, and get outside, interact with nature, and have fun. By simply replacing an ornamental flower garden with edible herbs and flowers, you can have beauty and function too.
