Penn State Master Gardeners of Allegheny County present Edible Landscaping

With an increased interest in growing your own food, heirloom fruits and vegetables are now mainstream. Seed companies and nurseries are providing homeowners with many more options of attractive edible plants for the landscape. Fruits and vegetables can easily be incorporated into a shrub border providing both beauty and a source of quality food. If space is limited, edibles can be grown in containers or window boxes. Consider planting a flowering fruit tree rather than a purely ornamental specimen. It is fun to experiment with edibles and the rewards are delicious!
