I found photos online of the Edible Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It's fascinating to me in many ways. For starters, it gorgeous! It's also very creative. I love the all of the colors to be found in using plain old vegetable garden plants. What a great way to create some beauty and feed people at the same time. Don't get me wrong - I love me some flower gardens. (I wish I was better at growing and more committed to my flower gardens here on the farm. Maybe I'll work on them more when I am not growing Young'uns.) The idea of edible gardens just intrigues me.
We're trying our hand at edible gardening in a couple of places around the Farm - some pole beans growing along the garage and herbs in flower beds. The Edible Garden at the Botanical Garden in Atlanta went for it in a big way. They converted an acre of parking lot into a garden that can be eaten along with an outdoor kitchen for visiting chefs to teach classes in. How fun is that?
Thought I'd share a few photos to get you thinking and also a link in case you want to see it for yourself.
