Why have grass when you can have a beautiful and edible landscape? That is our approach to landscaping. As we develop our landscape and remove grass, we are planting entirely edible plants. There are some instances where we are planting lightly used medicinal plants and plants purely for pollinators, but more than 90% of our landscape is edible. Our perimeter and fence line trees are apple and plum varieties, while ornamental trees used in more traditional landscaping are actually edibles.
