This comprehensive, feature-packed book shows how you can
create more beauty around your home, grow delicious
healthful produce, and save money and natural resources all
at the same time—by landscaping with edible plants.
Author Rosalind Creasy, a landscape designer and leading
authority on edible landscaping, provides all the
information necessary to plan, plant, and maintain
ornamental edible landscapes, with specific designs for all
geographic and climatic regions of the country. Drawing on
years of research into the most decorative and flavorful
species—from the exotic water chestnut to the ever-popular
apple—Creasy shows how edibles can form the basis for a
beautiful home landscape or can be integrated with
traditional ornamentals. An outstanding feature is the 160-
page "Encyclopedia of Edibles"—a book in itself—which
alphabetically lists more than 120 edible species, with
detailed horticultural information, landscaping and
culinary uses, seed sources, and recipes. Other valuable
features include an abundance of how-to illustrations,
photographs, and landscape diagrams designed for beginners
and experts alike, plus a list of mail-order nurseries, a
climate zone map, and extensive appendices.
