Ideas For Edible Landscaping

By Darren Hartley


Miniatures and dwarfs as part of edible landscaping ideas grow just 4 to 5 feet tall. They are perfect for growing inside large pots or whiskey barrels. Rhubarb, on the other hand, is so pretty that it would be a shame to relegate it to a vegetable garden.

Beautiful plants are part and parcel of edible landscaping ideas. A prime example would be grapevines. They are better grown two at a time up over an arbour. When it is not time for grape harvesting, their leaves, which are either green or tinged by autumn color, can be used to decoratively line plates and platters.

Getting creative with the vegetable garden design is welcomed by edible landscaping ideas. The creation of a series of decorative raised beds positioned between wood-chipped or gravel-lined paths may be a consideration. Beauty and efficiency are inspirations that can be drawn from historic French gardens.

Planting vegetable not only with looks but also flavours in mind is a dictate of edible landscaping ideas. Pretty purple cabbage can be alternated with snowy white cauliflower in a row. Rather than in rows, planting in blocks may be experimented on for a more dramatic effect.

Among the most decorative yet edible landscaping ideas are the rosemary herbs. Available in cleverly shaped topiary, they are best grown in pots or planted directly in the ground.

Brightening salads is one aftermath from the execution of edible landscaping ideas. Edible flowers are all that are required to do the trick. Nasturtiums and violas can be grown in the garden and their petals can be tossed in with lettuce to make a pretty good looking and tasting salad.
