The edible garden is so much more than a few carrots, a tomato plant or an herb here and there. We can plan for fruit (Honeyberries, Juneberries, Strawberries, Black Chokeberries, Cherries, and Kiwi-yes, Kiwi); nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts), as well as a plethora of vegetables and herbs. In addition to feeding ourselves, we can feed our pollinators, who in turn will benefit our flowering and edible plants, and create other delicious edibles like honey! Those edible plants may also have healing properties, which go beyond nutrient richness or add texture to your garden like rhubarb provides in the flower garden. All in all, edibles feed us in many ways!
