Incorporating edible plants into a landscape is a great way to add beauty while producing an abundance of fruits and vegetables.
In this video, our friends take you on a tour through their property where they have incorporated edible plants into the front yard landscape design. They also show you their amazing backyard garden that defies the challenges of a low-water, high desert, zone 5 that they live in. A huge thanks to them for sharing their successes with us!

What a thoughtfully prepared garden of abundance that is. I congratulate your friends on their productive achievement(s).
Wow! That’s awesome. We thought we maxed out our yard’s potential. This video helped me realize we aren’t even close.
Their ground dirt looks similar to mine. Like hard grayish clay. I’m in zone 9a in Southern California. I have terrible dirt for growing anything but weeds galore. Especially hemlock is abundant. I’ve tried many methods to amend my soil. Last year was my first attempt and most vegetables did well. Some more than others, and I learned what I can and cannot grow here. This year was terrible. I got a raised bed from my son for my birthday. I planted a few potatoes, chard & green beans. Earwig wiped out 80% my chard in a matter of a week. The green beans have stunted growth. No variety, even the seeds I saved from last year will grow beyond 4-“5 inches aster several months.
I would love to know what soil she’s using in her beds. I’ve tried many kinds and nothing has worked this year. I paid $40 a bag for 2 bags of compost. Mixed in it and everything looked great for a few weeks, then stunted growth.
A couple weeks ago I ripped everything out of my 4-10’ in ground garden, filled it with branches, leaves, brown paper & kitchen scraps. Hopefully I’ll be able to plant some fall squash & Brussel sprouts there next month.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful garden. We are building a permaculture edible landscape. This gave me so many ideas and hope as we've faced some of the same challenges- neighbors spraying , pests & predators getting our harvest & livestock.
Do you have a link or company name for the micromesh?
Thank you, blessings!
I'd love to be able to ask your friends some questions about their set up! A live discussion with them would be awesome!
Very nice garden. Thanks for sharing.
It is so helpful to see these other gardens for ideas. There is no reason not to grow food and medicinal herbs around the whole property. Good point to make sure neighbors are not spraying poisons on their property that drifts over to your food. Thank you and those sharing their gardens with us.
Geting a greenhouse this year. It's here, just waiting for cooler temperatures to put it together.
Would love to see them do a video showing how they prune and train those blackberries. That's an amazing harvest for such a small space.
amazing want to try and plant berries next year just hoping they will get enough sun this is great and tasteful
Great garden design and ideas! I'd never heard of columnar apple trees before 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!
Those rows of perfect greens varieties in the hoop house were just beautiful! And I've never seen mesh netting over tomatoes like that before, what an ingenious idea! How cool is that!! Well planned home garden, lots of great ideas to try. So many little nooks filled with plants for healing and salves, medicinal uses. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing this unique home garden design! Yes, please revisit this amazing garden, so we can view the updates and progress!
What a wonderful and informative garden tour. Thank you for sharing. This is good inspiration to keep me working on my garden.
looks nice but two people can not survive on the little you have there. plant some berries, potato towers, beans, squash, more purslane, sunflowers, lambs quarter weed, mullein, rose hips, nut trees and fruit. rain water storage and a pond with fish you can eat. add some solar power for pumping water in a grid down.
I have hosta's in my flower beds and they are edible. I plant eggplants there also and blueberries. Elderberrys are weeds where I live so everyone has them.
We live in an apartment complex. We only have 2' x 10' we can only grow herbs and some flowers for teas. When we are blessed to have a house, we have many plans. We are learning alot here for now.
Wow, great video!
I sure wish she'd add the link to the micromesh in her description…
That was well worth my time.
What compost do you recommend
Really impressive. I need to borrow some of these ideas. I just did the same mesh bag idea for my elderberry bush and my baby pumpkins and apples. I have a pesky critter getting to my tender new fruits.
Awesome! Please what variety are the blackberries? Thank you.
well, we are moving: less space in the house, which makes me a bit anxious as my food storage is bulky, but more garden!!!!
i have plans for our entire landscaping to be filled with edible and pollinator plants. its not a very big space by many people's standards, but its far more garden space than i had.
May i strongly suggest Serviceberry to people? native to the USA, its drought tolerant and delicious.
we are also putting in solar, and will be converting to a heat pump- geothermal if possible.
Wow…lots of work
Wow!
Fantastic garden, thank you for sharing! 🤩
