A garden border does not have to choose between looking good and putting food on the table. Several edible crops bring enough color, texture, shape, or sheer personality to work beautifully along paths, flower beds, patios, and other highly visible spots.
That makes edible landscaping a particularly clever trick for gardeners who want every inch of growing space to earn its keep. Instead of hiding vegetables in a backyard plot, these five crops can frame a garden, soften a walkway, or add a splash of color while quietly producing something delicious for the kitchen.
