Edible landscaping is an exciting and vibrant way to combine both function and aesthetics within a landscape. It incorporates the use of food plants as design features, for example elevating the status of carrots from food products to lacy leafy rosettes that have presence and value in a designed landscape. Beyond leaf shape and color, edibles can also contribute to affecting space, enhancing function, and creating memorable places.
