What is FOODSCAPING? Foodscaping is a cool way to say Edible Landscaping. It is bringing food production home, to your home, to your yard. It is landscaping with a variety of food-producing plants that are beautiful, nourishing, and sustainable. It is replacing useless lawns with low-maintenance and productive fruit trees, berry bushes, native plants, medicinal plants, vegetable and herb gardens, rain gardens, and more. Think, a backyard grocery store meets functional and beautiful landscape design. 

Remember the VICTORY GARDEN? Many of us call to mind the backyard garden plots of our grandparents, the Victory Gardens that helped them weather times of war and economic hardship. Many can remember the family apple or cherry tree, the grape arbor, or the backyard chicken flock. “Foodscaping” was a way of life - a culture of family and friends coming together to bring the grocery store to the backyard. They canned and stored their surplus, they gave away and bartered to the neighbors, they shared seeds and gardening wisdom. Love for healthy food, gardening, and good work ethic was passed from children to grandchildren. 

BEAUTY and FOOD SECURITY! We don’t often think of edible plants and vegetable gardens as ornamental, but they can be. Most of the berry bushes, fruit trees, and medical flowers are as beautiful as they are productive. Peach trees, cherry trees, apples have gorgeous blossoms every Spring. Many native bushes have stunning fall foliage. 

Want MORE IDEAS? How about a privacy hedgerow of blueberry bushes, hazelnuts, or elderberries? Or tastefully placed fruit and nut trees in the backyard, and strawberries as ground cover under and around your bushes and fruit trees. You can even add a native Paw Paw patch with their tropical fruit, curb appeal, and deer resistance!
