Edible Landscaping

If you want to start a food garden with your students but don’t have the space in your schoolyard for a traditional vegetable plot or fruit orchard, try your hands at edible landscaping: designing with plants that can do double duty as ornamentals and crops. This month, we highlight the basics of edible landscaping, and offer a couple of related lessons to whet your students’ appetites for designing with healthy eating and aesthetics in mind.

Monthly Garden Lessons

* Lettuce in the Landscape – Students investigate the ornamental properties of lettuce in order to expand their perception of what kinds of plant material can be used in landscapes.
* So Many Flavorful Fruits – Students will learn what a plant variety is, identify fruit varieties suitable for your area, and create a fruit guide.
