Edible Landscaping - What Is It, How to Design It and What Plants to Choose:

Edible landscaping refers to mixing food plants in with your ornamental ones, to create a setting that is not only visually appealing, but productive as well. This post will provide suggestions for How to Design It and What Plants to Choose. Edible landscapes are nothing new, with the Ancient Egyptians being one of the first to create gardens featuring flowers, grape vines, and fruit trees, mixed with seating areas where one could enjoy the scenery. In the 10th century, the rose gardens that were sprinkled with fragrant herbs became a signature creation of Benedictine monks. Examples include:

Using different types of loose-leaf lettuce as border plants

Creating a hedge from blueberries or currants, rather than unproductive shrubs

Replacing non-edible trees with fruit trees

Using tomato plants or grape vines, instead of conventional climbing vines to cascade over a trellis

Having pots and baskets of colorful, fragrant herbs, rather than non-edible flowers

Incorporating striking vegetables, such as Swiss chard and pak choi, into flower beds

Using strawberries, thyme and mint as ground cover

Homegrown serrano peppers. Spicy, warm from the sun, fresh off the plant. Delicious!

Watercress was introduced to these parts as a garden vegetable, a couple centuries or so ago. It fell out of favor completely over the generations, so now most people around here have never eaten it. But it keeps on producing, year after year and century after century, all but forgotten by the humans who brought it hither. . . . #wildfood #weeds #permaculture #ediblelandscape #mypond #watercress https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Z9kh9FRPJ/?igshid=1qswf8z1rhak6

Honored to speak at the Specialization Seminar in Landscape Design organized by the Faculty of Architecture at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo.

My talk, “Sowing Health in the City: Edible Landscapes Against the Food Paradox,” explored how landscape design can foster community engagement, strengthen territorial identity, and support social cohesion.

My sincere thanks to Erika E. Pérez, Eri Muz, and Luis Jacobo Villafuerte for the coordination and invitation, and to all participants for the enriching exchange of ideas.
