What do we do here? We help people create edible and beautiful landscapes that are way better than organic! Because I'm on a mission. My dream is to make good food accessible to everyone. In my humble opinion, the best food is tasty, nutritious and safe, and it doesn’t get any better than picking fresh fruits, herbs, and veggies straight off the plant. Where you know what went on it and in it from start to finish. Here at Ediful Gardens, we landscape with edible and ornamental plants, trees, bushes, vines and bulbs in such a way that a passerby wouldn’t know your growing food. You won’t find any tomato cages here. As a matter of fact, there’s a lot you won’t find here including pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or any other “cides”.What you will find here are landscapes designed for beauty, fun, reflection, peace, entertaining, and list goes on. The point is it’s your yard, your home, and your taste.
