Landscaping Play and Edible Garden

Wavertree - Liverpool - Merseyside

What is an Edible Garden?

An edible garden is basically a garden that has edible produce in it such as lettuce, carrots, herbs etc. Colourful produce such as berries and strawberries look fantastic in an edible garden and take the average dull look of a vegetable garden away.
