The goal of our Specialty Edible Landscape (also referred to as foodscapes) services is to focus on self-sustainability and to build confidence in self-reliance.
What is Edible Landscaping?
Edible landscaping is the use of food-producing plants in a residential landscape. Endless possibilities can include fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, along with ornamental plants forming an aesthetically pleasing design. These designs can be adopted into any garden style and may include anywhere from 1 to 100 percent edible specimens.
What are the benefits of Edible Landscaping?
Panhandle Aquascapes & Landscaping team’s goal is to provide sustainability by reminding ourselves that “freedom is the greatest fruit of self-sufficiency” – Epicurus.
Besides the benefits of saving money on grocery bills, edible landscaping also provides:
- Nutrient dense fruits and vegetables
- Improved health from eating fresh produce
- Ability to eliminate toxic pesticides and herbicides used on commercial farms
- Increased food security for your family and community
- Ability to grow unusual varieties of fruits and vegetables not available in stores
- Supporting biological diversity with edible landscapes that attract pollinators and other beneficial species
One of the most difficult challenges of creating an edible landscape is choosing the right plants and herbs to get started. Fortunately, Panhandle Aquascapes & Landscaping are experts in designing and implementing edible landscapes and foodscapes for any size yard.
