An Edible Garden

Over the last few years we have tried to use the planting area in front of the main gates as a demonstration garden.

This year we are growing an edible garden. Lots of assorted vegetables and edible flowers that make an interesting texture and cololr contrast.

Some suggestions for you would include lettuce, with the different colors and textures available; broccoli and swiss chard (especially Rainbow Lights, a mix of green, red and orange colors). Add in some parsley for texture together with pansies and calendulas as a gatnish and you have a meal right out of the garden.

Check it out.
