Edible Landscaping
Edible Landscapes by Harmony Gardens provides beautifully designed and maintained kitchen gardens right in your own yard. The traditional concept of a vegetable garden often conjures up the memories of unsightly and rectangular plots placed somewhere far in the back corner, as if not lovely enough to be close to the home.
Those days are gone. With years of experience as a landscape designer, horticulturist Cindy Shuart will design truly inspiring edible landscapes that are really "outside the box".
Imagine . . . raised garden beds of natural stone, stepping stones, garden sculptures, benches, arbors, grape trellises and water features. Now - picture a basket of fresh salad greens, sun ripened tomatoes, colorful peppers, plump blueberries, and the aroma of fresh herbs.
We will design, install and, if you desire, maintain your gardens. We will help you to set up composting, drip irrigation and rain barrels. We offer fabulous “sustainable cooking recipes”, cooking classes, and are now planing an organic canning element!
Edible Landscapes is also working with the local area food charities to give back to the community any produce that our clients wish to donate.
With concerns increasingly turning to our food security, availability, health, environmental protection, and healing, this is a way to begin to become more self-sustaining and to reduce our carbon footprint. Why not transform some of your turf grass into a production garden to feed your family? Let’s work together to plan for a better future in a beautiful and fulfilling way.
