A growing movement of gardeners, food activists, landscape designers, urban planners and others is encouraging us to think “edible” when it comes to public green space. Flowers are pretty, they say, but if those blossoms become apples or zucchini, isn’t that even better?

“Public food landscapes can transform public spaces from being passive scenes to view or experience at a relatively superficial level,” says Joshua Zeunert, a landscape designer and professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney who studies edible public spaces.

By "public food landscape," Zeunert means food-producing land fully accessible to the public that is intended to be used for public benefit. This could include community vegetable gardens, public parks with “edible forests” of fruit and nut trees, public university campuses with agriculture projects that benefit the community and neighborhood centers with food-producing green roofs.

It’s time to hand pollinate! This pineapple guava will produce more fruit if we help the pollination process. Once new flowers set the pollen is fresh for a few days. You’ll know it’s the perfect time when the pollen is very yellow and easily flows when tapped. Using a small paintbrush go from blossom to blossom tapping the pollen into the flower center. If all of our flowers fruit this year, it will be a banner year! To note: pineapple guava is a drought tolerant plant, but it does need water when fruit is setting in order for it to grow!

Happy hand pollinating!

Flax flowers are so fantastic. This drought-tolerant, sword-leafed perennial plant is a perfect solution for a garden that needs texture and color all year round, and is low maintenance. ⚡️

Urban yards don’t need lawns. One important aspect of our design work is considering the way our urban properties contribute to the climate crisis, and design for amelioration. At the heart of all of our designs are pollinator gardens. When we provide biodiverse landscapes we not only contribute to cooling urban neighborhoods we also cultivate ecosystems in which birds, bees, insects, butterflies can thrive. One of the biggest benefits of creating a food focused landscape with lots of supporting pollinator gardens is the return of diverse species to the area!

We each have the power to make a difference. Beginning with ourselves, our homes, our communities, and our daily habits!

Interested in creating a pollinator garden, wildflower meadow, and/or edible landscape in your yard? We can help! DM or email to get started with a consult.

Written before we existed, but still a great resource about edible landscaping.

“Edible landscapes, on the other hand, increase the diversity of insect populations, create habitat for birds and other wildlife, and provide ideal conditions for the millions of microbes that make up healthy soil, which is critically important for their ability to store carbon and slow climate change.”
