Edible perennials, including persimmon, daylilies, herbs, roses, and strawberries, enhance this courtyard
When designing with edible plants, my goal is to create a beautiful garden that doesn’t look like a ‘vegetable patch.’ I use edible plants in the same ways that I use ‘regular’ garden plants. I incorporate a mix of deciduous and evergreen edible trees, shrubs, and groundcovers to create a sequence of spaces and frame hardscape areas like patios, pavilions, decks, meditation nooks.

This courtyard, in the backyard of a historical Tudor style home, is rich with edible perennials like persimmon, strawberries, herbs, roses, nasturtium, and daylillies.
