Overview
Definition:
Edible landscaping is the use of food plants as design features in a landscape. These plants are used both for aesthetic value as well as consumption. Combine form and function.
Important Note:
Edible landscapes encompass a variety of garden types and scales but do not include food items produced for sale.

Edible Landscape vs. Traditional Landscape
The Pros
Environment – decreased food miles, reduced reliance on fossil fuel supported calories
Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices
In general, edible landscaping promotes sustainable gardening practices that maximize water efficiency, support wildlife and reduce the use of chemicals in the landscape.
The Cons
Time – increased maintenance requirements, seasonal planting, regular garden planning
Inputs – increased water needs
Practices - increased plant waste typically requires healthy compost pile
![Page 6: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Soil Management Issues
Limitations compared to traditional gardens
Raised beds can still work
Mulches are useful anywhere
Crops can increase plant debris and green waste
Debris can be composted
![Page 7: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Planting and Re-Planting Among Perennials
Dedicate bed space if possible Difficult to prepare soil for annual crops, so amend soils before planting Woody roots interfere, disturbs perennial root systems (landscape or fruit trees, ornamental shrubs) Can be difficult to inter-plant seasonal crops routinely among established ornamentals Do soil conditions meet needs of seasonal
or perennial edible plants being added?
![Page 8: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Maintaining Ornamental Function
Ornamental value of some food crops wanes
Remove crop debris
Harvest ripe fruit and mature produce
![Page 9: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Water Use
Remember Hydrozoning
Higher density = greater water requirement
![Page 10: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pests and Weeds
Pest management often more demanding with edibles
IPM more complex
Weed management without herbicides
![Page 11: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pesticides in Edible Landscapes
Pay attention to label!
Applications per Season
Minimum Days to Reapply
Pre-harvest Intervals
Example Label for edible plants - spinosad
Crops Pests Controlled
Maximum Number of Application s Per Season
Minimum Days To Wait Before Reapplying
Minimum Days To Wait From Last Application To Harvest
Cucurbits including cucumber, summer and winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew, etc.) pumpkin, edible gourds, and watermelon
Leafminers Thrips Worms
(caterpillars)
6 5 All except cucumber 3 days
Cucumber 1 days
![Page 12: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pesticides in Edible Landscapes
Pay attention to label!
Directions for application to ornamentals can be very different
No pre-harvest intervals
Example Label for ornamental plants - spinosad
Outdoor Ornamentals (herbaceous and woody plants)
Gall midges Leaf feeding beetles Leafminers Sawfly larvae Spider mites Worms, including Loopers, webworms, Bagworms, gypsy Moth, and tent caterpillars
Mix the amount of concentrated pesticide recommended per pint, quart or gallon of spray and uniformly spray foliage to point of runoff. Uniform coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces is essential for effective insect control
Drift/Runoff from ornamentals to edibles
![Page 13: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fertilizer Management for Edibles vs. Ornamentals
Edibles often have greater fertilizer need
Especially N
Special nutrient needs for some crops to produce well
Edibles often require more frequent fertilization
Sidedress N on seasonal crops
Annual fertilization of perennial crops
Consider using slow-release N

Fruit Tree Considerations in
Edible Landscapes
Allow enough room to prune, thin, and harvest
Roots will spread 2 to 3 times the width of the canopy
Consider effects of sprays on adjacent plants
Consider clustering fruit trees and keeping them small
Similar irrigation, bird netting, mulching, pollination
![Page 21: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Site Selection Issues – Dwarf Peach
Wind protection, warm south wall, blends into landscape
Full sun, a bit out of place but still works

Edible Landscaping, Grapes!
Use
Arbors
Trellised along a fence or structure
Should be very durable! Containers Specimen planting
California head pruned
Consider access for pruning, spraying, etc

+ Food Can Be Grown in Any Garden
Interplant edibles with your ornamentals
![Page 27: Sacramento Master Gardeners UC Cooperative Extension · Health - food security, horticulture therapy, healthy food choices In general, ... winter squash, muskmelons (cantaloupe, honeydew,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042804/5f59a37f7dde4c6aac2478a5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Incorporating Vegetables into your Landscape…
Make a list of edibles you like and that grow well in your climate
Realize that some plants may not be compatible with certain areas or existing plants
Identify the cultural needs of each
Sun vs. shade
Soil pH
Water requirements
Nutrient requirements
Be aware of overall form
Size, shape, color, flowers, fruit
Identify any pests/diseases that are common

Site Selection
Vegetable crops perform best when well irrigated and receive at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight
Vegetables can be used as
Ground covers
Annual low border bedding plants
Visual screens
Trellis vines
Hanging baskets/containers

Adequate watering is critical

Dwarf varieties available

Caneberries and Trellises
Blackberries, boysenberries and raspberries benefit from a trellis on which to tie or wrap the canes
Blackberries are usually grown on a 3-wire trellis, at 2-, 4- and 6-feet
Both the posts and the wires must be strong
