Landscaping and edible gardening have always been treated as two totally different practices. And yet, they have more similarities than differences. In this episode we visit Brie Arthur in her garden where we explore foodscaping – or edible landscaping. Brie shows us first hand how to mix vegetables in with those ornamental plants to create an edible landscape that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

  1. Don’t know how they can make garlic from China the same size and shape.

  2. Colorado potato beetles love to eat all the leaves of potato plants. The overwinter in the soil too, so you will have them come back next season if you get an infestation of this beetle.

  3. I had a bunch of sorghum and sunflowers self seed under a birdfeeder.
    What a beautiful surprise!

  4. Wow, ive been gardening for years but ive never known that mixing veggies n flowers have a name .sure enough this summer ill be starting. Thank you very much!

  5. Not sure why this channel has such less subscribers n views. They are amazing videos. Thank You. Watching all the videos…

  6. joe you should get a co host you an her could go an do a travel show gardens worldwide an the perfect combo of cultural tricks from different regions?

  7. While turning my yard into a foodscape I discovered that my hostas are edible & tasty! You snip some tops in the spring (which bunnies had been doing anyway) and sautee them. Yum!

  8. I'm curious as to why the truck/jeep? in her garden bed..it can't be a parking spot and must have a deeper meaning…smart garden design/concept to hide veggies in your ornamentals

  9. The way my HOA words it is “No vegetable gardens in the front yard”, I don’t have that, I have a mixed use garden, not a vegetable garden. They want to keep people from digging up their green sod lawns is the reason for it. I went round and round with my HOA over many issues and they finally gave up when I threatened to sue them for obvious discrimination. Told them I’d love to set a nationwide precedence with a lawsuit. The idea actually excited me, it scared them. I never get a letter now about having herbs or vegetables up front or too many containers, (they went from allowing 5 to allowing only 1 for me only) my garden is usually immaculate and the jewel of the neighborhood according to fellow neighbors. They knew they were fighting a losing battle. Friends fight your HOA’s! Do not let them rule what food you grow on your property. They used to say it was because they were worried about property value for everyone…well my property value has now tripled! Fight for your rights friends. And make it beautiful so they can’t resist you! 😊
