What the Heck is Edible Landscaping?
Edible Landscaping is a wholly holistic approach to creating sustainable, beautiful and bountiful outdoor environments. Edible Landscapes are yards you can eat!
At Bountiful Backyards we specialize in creating dynamic edible landscapes. These gardens simultaneously grow vegetables, fruit trees, berry bushes and flowers while helping regenerate the land. They harvest and utilize rainwater, build soil, and provide habitat for beneficial insects and animals. They create abundance for human communities and the environments they’re tied to.
Using permaculture principles, we create site-specific, super productive, low maintenance edible landscapes. Whether you have three acres, a small lot, or a shared apartment patio, everyone can benefit from the joy of an edible landscape.
Get Started
Starting with a consultation where we assess the site and your goals for it, we work together to shape a design for your new edible landscape. Once we have approved a design, we do what we do best—get the plants in the ground! Contact us today to start a project that’s tailored to your needs, budget, and space.
